Hello all, I have just built FriCAS 1.2.7 from the tarball on Windows with the native SBCL port. SBCL 1.3.1 is apparently buggy as raised by Andrey G. Grozin so I used the 1.3.0 version.
I tried to build FriCAS on Cygwin but actually CLisp on Cygwin is no longer able to dump a lisp image. Some quick notes : It's built using MinGW/MSYS with the usual build toolchain (make, gcc and consort). SBCL is installed on C:\SBCL - No space - SBCL_HOME variable set and the sbcl.exe in the PATH. I encoutered two problems with the same build variable : $PREGENERATED. During the configure phase, in the top dir of FriCAS source PREGENERATED variable is set on mingw32 to `pwd -W` + '/pre-generated' which is wrong for the whole build process exept in src/algebra. As long as the build machinery remains as it is, for example in src/interp, all is right with a simple `pwd` + '/pre-generated' since we are in the Msys shell (a unix shell emulation so PREGENERATED=/home/gvanuxem/fricas-1.2.7/pre-generated is right in my case). But in src/algebra SBCL must be called with a Windows absolute path not the Msys one. That is something like "C:/MinGW/Mmsys/1.0/home/gvanuxem/fricas-1.2.7/pre-generated" (`pwd -W` + "/pre-generated" at the top directory of FriCAS). I did not want to modify the build machinery so I used : ./configure --prefix=/opt/fricas --with-pre-generated=/home/gvanuxem/fricas-1.2.7/pre-generated Then I manually modified the src/algebra/Makefile to set PREGENERATED=c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/gvanuxem/fricas-1.2.7/pre-generated And a 'make && make install' worked like a charm. In case someone with a good knowledge of the build machinery want to modify it, it would be convenient to take into account this. Of course there is no X, so no Hypertex, nor graph.
