In Devel: gcc-mingw
gcc-mingw-core
Why do I need a C compiler to run the fricas binary? Are you saying
there is some compilation involved?
In Math: clisp
Why clisp and not sbcl? I havent' yet looked at it but isn't the binary
just something that I have to extract?
In Publishing: psutils
tetex
tetex-base
tetex-bin
tetex-extra
tetex-tiny
tetex-x11
I need to install tex into cygwin so that FriCAS will work? You don't
mean that.
In X11: xterm
xinit
font-adobe-dpi75
That's from cygwin, right? Where does that xming come in? Sorry, but
Windows isn't my primary system. And I would favour a better description
of the steps.
In Editors: emacs
emacs-X11
OK, but is should be marked as optional. And the efricas script that
comes with the .tbz tarball should deal with the case that emacs is not
installed and simply call fricas without emacs (maybe giving a hint that
one should install emacs).
