Greetings! Happy to announce that Version_2_6_10pre now builds unmodified with the latest mingw. maxima passes all tests -- checking acl2 now.

If you can tell me how to detail the package listing in an email with some command, I'm happy to do so. gcc 4.8.1 The problem was mostly due to the fact that this gcc uses the TMP environment variable instead of TMPDIR as the docs seem to state. Our configure used this too, but no longer does. There also seems to be an erroneous free in the mingw startup which we let pass, and some preprocessor semantic differences. For a while, configure/awk was not working due to a LF/CRLF mismatch in the .in files. It seems now that git does this translation automatically (?). Not sure how this is supposed to work, but apparently it does now. For those interested, I've also found out how to use mingw/msys bash as an emacs shell. I can build and test everything within emacs as I'm accustomed. The advantage here of course is the ability to copy and paste shell commands when problems arise. Never knew how much I relied on this until it was gone :-) mingw says it can support parallel installations. If you'd like, I can try to duplicate on your machine what is working on the other.
