Hi,
This ought to be a FAQ because it does come up from time to time.
There are two ways that I know of to build Poly/ML from source on Windows. By far the easiest is
with the (free) community edition of Visual Studio. Download and install the C++ version, open the
PolyML.sln file, select "Release" and "x86" (for 32-bit) from the drop-downs, set "PolyML" as the
"Startup Project" in the "Solution Explorer" and build.
The other way is to use Msys64 which can be used to build both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This is
more complicated to set up but provides a Posix shell so that "configure" and "make" can be run as
usual.

It also builds and runs under Cygwin, which is a library and pretty extensive collection of programs
ported from Linux that offers a Linux-like environment under Windows. (It is not a VM, such as the
Windows Subsystems for Linux (WSL) -- programs have to be ported and built under Cygwin. However,
many things work with little adjustment.)
