Windows



Dan Stanger has recently reported some success using:
 - a mingw build of gcl,
 - a build of an mid 2001 version of maxima.

I thing that this is the way to go in the short term, as we know it
worked once.  I agree that it will be easier to package and distribute a
windows binary that doesn't depend on cygwin.  I saw my cygwin build as
a step in the right direction, rather than the end of the road.

I will try to duplicate Dan's work over the next week or so.

Has anyone tried the new build system in a Windows environment?  I know
some excellent work was done earlier with Cygwin and Clisp - is it
possible to make a self contained binary from that setup?  (I apologize
for not having been more responsive to the earlier attempts.  You guys
deserve a lot of credit - thanks much.)
