Just a note to say that I have built clisp-2.27 on windows 2000 using
cygwin. I was then able to compile a maxima, and it "sort of works".
There were two minor problems.
configure detects IPv6 due to some incomplete headers in the cygwin
distribution. This can be worked around by editing $(build)/unixconf.h and
replacing
#define HAVE_IPV6 1
with
#undef HAVE_IPV6
A better solution would be to fix improve the IPv6 detection, as was done
for gcc-3
cygwin doesn't have getservent(). This was worked around by modifying
src/socket.d near line 847, changing
#ifndef WIN32
to
#if !defined(WIN32) || ! defined (__CYGWIN__)
I guess an autoconf test for getservent() would be preferable.
The build then proceded normally.
There was one testsuite failure in excepsit.erg.
