Hi Camm,

If you mean Maxima (I don't know as Robert, as you included both the GCL 
and Maxima list), I assume, many people use the pre-build installers 
(which are crosscompiled by me on Linux, either the release from 
Sourceforge or my nightly builds).

However, it would be nice, if somebody - who *really* builds Maxima on 
Windows - could update the 'NATIVE' build instructions (INSTALL.win32 
and INSTALL.win32nogcl in the Maxima source code), they are very 
outdated (gcc 3.3.1 or gcc 4.6.2? The current version is 14!).


I once tried to build it on Windows and install all these dependencies - 
and developed my cross-compiling-procedure then... ;-)
(Which was not easy, as there is not really a cross-compiler for Lisp, I 
used wine with the Windows Lisp binaries on Linux...)

If you are referring to gcl - it would be nice, if it would be 
cross-compileable, but (e.g.) ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
fails very early...

Best regards, Wolfgang
