Some feedback on my own port :-)
I installed it on a Pentium 90 running win95. I found that
it wouldn't run as the gcl I used was build with P3 assembly code.
I fixed that by building a i386 version of gcl.
Next problem is that the version of gcc I used is for i686 or better,
so while the new maxima works it won't compile anything.
This can be fixed by using the i386 version of mingw gcc.
What CPU should we require for the binary we build? I am quite
happy to build something that runs on i386 or i486, as
performance is not really an issue for me. If anyone cares about
raw speed they can build their own P4 (or whatever) version.
Thoughts?
