Thanks, I think that should do the trick. But cgywin is like getting a 2nd pc with Linux, or installing vmware with some linux. It's not what I was looking for. More sort of some tips on how to get the code compiled on windows and included in gap.
If GAP supports windows then why is not every package available on windows? Why are packages accepted with documentation saying "neither tried nor tested on windows"? I don't think there is a technical reason for why this package doesn't work on windows except that the developer didn't want to develop for Windows. These packages belong in an incubator and not in a final distribution imho.

Summarizing: how can I compile gpipe from openmath on windows and what tools do I need to do that? ( My development skills on windows are limited to Java. )
install Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) Get GAP source and build everything as if you are working under Unix. (and don't forget to build the gpipe and Openmath library (see instructions in pkg/openmath ) Perhaps it will work...
