SnapPy runs as a native Windows app. We build Pari with msys2 and mingw on a CI runner.

There are many ports of gnu libraries to msys2 which can be installed with their package manage (pacman). I am not convinced that GAP, Singuler, etc. could not be built with mingw. - Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
