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.
----
== Current instructions (work on Windows XP with Cygwin 1.7.3 and Windows
7 with Cygwin 1.7.9) ==
* As below with 4.7.2
=== 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).
* 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.
* Also, '''don't forget to''' {{{export SAGE_PORT=yes}}}!
=== Spkgs ===
*
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/ecl-11.1.2.cvs20111120.p0.spkg
ecl-11.1.2.cvs20111120.p0.spkg], #11884
* [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/twisted-9.0.p3.spkg
twisted-9.0.p3.spkg], #11497 (appears to be not necessary any more---but
YMMV)
* [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/cddlib-094f.p9.spkg
cddlib-094f.p9.spkg],
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/dima/packages/networkx-1.2.p2.spkg
networkx-1.2.p2.spkg] #11245
This should then work 'out of the box', modulo rebasing issues (see
[wiki:CygwinPort]) and the continuing saga of building Maxima effectively
(see #11502, #11260, but also some recent probable changes in ECL).
Apparently the change in the following is no longer necessary, since
4.7.1.alpha3 - but see #11635 where this is being tracked now.

Older instructions:
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.

* #7015 -- Cygwin port -- ratpoints -- don't build

`complex.h`
* #8279 -- Cygwin: cliquer names the library incorrectly for Cygwin
* #8280 -- zn_poly shared library named incorrectly on Cygwin
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.
