New description:
The goal of this ticket is that a person can:
1. Install Cygwin and certain standard Cygwin packages (listed below).
2. Extract the Sage tarball and type "`make`"
and have everything build automatically with no errors. The goal is
'''not''' that the resulting build works or Sage starts up. That will be
for a later ticket. Adding checks for all these prereqs will also be part
of a future ticket.
----
== Most recent trials and a lot more status detail is at
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort ==
== Current instructions (work on Windows XP and Windows 7 with latest
Cygwin) ==
* As below with 5.5.rc0
* You will have to add patches for #13325 and #13802 during the build of
the Sage library. Once it fails, do (assuming you are in `SAGE_ROOT`)
{{{
./sage -sh
cd devel/sage
<import the patches - you may need to make ~/.hgrc>
cd ../..
./sage -b
<assuming all goes well here>
touch spkg/installed/sage-5.5.rc0 # or whatever the version number is
exit
}}}
which will bring you back to your normal shell.
=== Cygwin prereqs ===
* Be sure to install `file`, `liblapack`, `liblapack0`, `liblapack-
devel`.
* Also need `libiconv` and `openssl` and `openssl-devel`.
* Might as well install `libgc-devel` - although it's not needed to
build, it probably is to start.
* Since we will go with #11232, install `patch`.
* On Windows 7 (or both) install `libncurses-devel`.
* Don't forget `fortran`.
* Make sure you download all `gcc` and `g++` so the versions match (in
this case, gcc4 is the type we want).
* We also need make and perl
* m4 is currently needed because of the prereq script, but once #12112 is
closed, it won't be.
* Just to make sure, avoid building in home directories of Windows domain
users, as they are treated in a special way by Windows (and Cygwin).
Probably also it's a good idea that all the pathnames do not contain
capital letters (Windows is case-insensitive in this way, unlike Unices),
spaces, etc.
* Similarly, do not ''test'' without making sure that `SAGE_TESTDIR` does
not contain spaces.
* Also, '''don't forget to''' {{{export SAGE_PORT=yes}}}!
=== Spkgs ===
* #11635 (NTL)
* #13324 (ECL, but *not* including #9167 yet)
* #13137 (MPIR)
* #13755 (linbox, on Win 7)
* #13325 (eclib)
* #13319 (Python, based on #13631)
* #13799 (cvxopt, on XP - no spkg available yet, may have to `touch
spkg/installed/cvxopt-1.1.5` manually if it fails)
This should then work 'out of the box', modulo rebasing issues (see
[wiki:CygwinPort]). See [wiki:CygwinPort the wiki] for other details as
well.

Much older info, archived:
I have put a binary of my Cygwin build here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/tmp/sage-4.1-cygwin-i686-CYGWIN_NT-5.1.tar.gz
Things like "`sage -ipython`" and many non-Sage imports work. Just
starting Sage doesn't, maybe because of the Sage<-->pynac binding not
building.
Required Cygwin packages beyond the usual:
* GCC 4.3.2
* `gfortran`
* `libncurses-devel`
* `lapack`
* `openssl-devel`
* `libiconv` -- needed when building R (and it has to be `libiconv`)
We need to add a test for '''all''' of the above to the prereq script
before making the Cygwin port official.
