Is that separation of X11 stuff in the current build-improvements branch? (I could use that on some of the SourceForge compile farm machines.) > The purpose of the exercise of building build-improvements on > cygwin (or mingw) is to see how effective the separation is, > and what remains to have an effective build. I would think that that main reason for using cygwin would be because you want X11 and pseudo terminals. No? But under native Windows this separation is necessary. > Bill Page wrote: > | If you are serious about building Axiom on Windows, I would > | be glad to repeat this to verify that it still works. > > If you believe I was not or am not serious, we can terminate > this conversation. Ok, lets lighten-up. I know I probably deserved that considering my other thread. Peace. :-) I am very happy that you are serious about building Axiom on Windows and I will help however I can. A new version for Windows is badly needed. Later today I will re-verify the my build of gcl-2.6.8pre under Windows and let you know. Building on cygwin is definitely an option if we want to get the full functionality of Axiom as it exists on Linux, but it is important to keep in mind that *most* Windows users are very resistant to installing cygwin and even more negative about using X11 applications under Windows because the look and feel is so different. So I think we want at least AXIOMsys to run natively without cygwin or the cygwin libraries.
