Windows 10

[Marius Gerbershagen]

Dear Garrett,

the error you get is due to ECL not finding its compiler binary (the
compiler is build as a separate fasl which is loaded on demand). Can you
check whether the file obtained from (translate-logical-pathname
#P"SYS:CMP.NEWEST") exists? What value is the variable
c::*ecl-library-directory* bound to?

Note also that you will likely experience trouble with ECL 20.4.24 on
cygwin when compiling many files unless you incorporate the following
workaround for cygwin problems with fork:

Best,
Marius
