I tried to compile Julia with CYWIN according to those instructions. Compilation completed but I have a problem: when executing outside cywin, no Pkg commands work (Pkg.init(), Pkg.add(), etc..). It instantly gives a git related error. When executing from within Cywin, then I don't get this error but Julia hangs forever trying to load METADATA when I try Pkg.update() or when I try to install a new package. I also tried to overwrite the compiled Julia folder on an existing Julia instalation, which then gets rid of the git error, but still hangs. Any hints? Maybe a parameter or two were missing with make? Compiling from source gave me the latest version of Julia, 0.4.x
Best, Marcio
