[Ecls-list] ecl, fricas and cygwin

[Martin Rubey]

Dear Juanjo and Waldek!

I'm trying to build fricas for two colleagues on cygwin/MS Windows
again, with no success.

I tried two things:

1.)

downloaded ecl-11.1.1.exe, installed it, linked it to /usr/local/bin
such that calling ecl on the cygwin-bash prompt invokes it (works fine).

However, fricas configure fails right at the beginning, since it uses
the "wrong" pathnames, i.e., it tries to

> (load "/cygdrive/d/fricas/config.lisp")

Filesystem error with pathname #P"D:/cygdrive/d/fricas/config.lisp".
Either
 1) the file does not exist, or
 2) we are not allow to access the file, or
 3) the pathname points to a broken symbolic link.

(the "right thing" in this setup would be (load "D:fricas/config.lisp"),
it seems...)

2.)

downloaded ecl-11.1.1.tar.gz, but I failed to compile it (I configured
without passing any options).  make fails with
