I think that this is the whole point no matter what approach we take;

Perhaps even farther off topic;
I doubt that Cygwin (Cygwin/X) is in any case a good path for many/
most MS_Windows
folk - from THEIR point of view.
The path to getting Cygwin/X up and running "usefully" on a MS_Windows
platform
is long and arduous for the naive user, e.g. it was so for me.

If you are fine with using a virtual machine then just punch the notebook

Maxima appears to already support Windows, at least in some shape or form:

A lot of the C code is Sage relies on posix, in particular fork() is not
provided by the Win32 API. So a plain Win32-version of Sage would be a very
invasive rewrite of a lot of stuff.
Even Microsoft noticed that you need to support posix for real work, so they
have SFU (Windows Services for UN

Perhaps a bit off topic, but is there any possibility of Sage ever being
ported to Windows natively, i.e. without cygwin dependencies? We have a
couple thousand lines worth of shell scripts currently underpinning Sage,
and we'd probably have to convert those to Python or something to make them

Mike,
I recall reporting some weirdness on Windows 7, originating from the
randomized addressing issue.
(that's what rebase and rebaseall Cygwin utilities are/were fighting).
At that time Cygwin still had Python 2.5.
Is it correct that since then it has fixed itself, as Cygwin folks

Hi !
Thank you for the detailed answer. It will help to find someone who
could work on the Windows port and I'm glad it seems reasonable to ask
a good undergraduated student in computer science to do the job, at
least partially.

Currently, windows porting efforts are focusing on porting to Cygwin.
One of the targets for the Sage-5.0 release is a successful port to
Cygwin. Here is a page with some good info:

I am not involved in the project myself. Someone else with more
