I don't have any particular advice on how to do this.  Perhaps the gcl
mailing lists can help.  But even on Linux, I have a very hard time
building gcl.  I've basically given up and just use the old version that
I somehow compiled many years ago.

Maybe ecl would be a good alternative?  I have no experience with that
on windows.  Works ok on Linux and MacOS.

It certainly would be nice if the free versions of LW or ACL could
compile maxima.
