WSL is pure Linux, windows is doing the emulation. Cygwin is an emulation layer, you can consider Cygwin as a quirky Linux distribution. Mingw is obsolete, but Mingw-w64 is not. This provides a *native* windows executable. Which I consider as the most valuable target if you are considering windows support, because it provides the best user experience. - Qian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
