Although I have built FriCAS in mingw64 before,
I encounter many small obstacles this time,
so I decide to document them here for future reference.

In addition to http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/fricas/windows.txt

Tips and tricks for building FriCAS in mingw64 on windows are:

1. Install SBCL in a path that doesn't include spaces,
for example, "C:\SBCL\".

2. Use "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" instead of
"MSYS2 MSYS" from the windows start menu,
otherwise you will encounter errors with SBCL.

3. Default memory configuration is not enough
for SBCL to compile TMFORM.lsp, so you need something like:

./configure --with-lisp="/c/SBCL/sbcl.exe --dynamic-space-size 4000"

4. Anti-virus software may slow down the process,
so add "C:\msys64" to the exclusion path of
anti-virus software.
