See http://groups.google.com/group/sage-windows for some threads which discuss why (apparently) Cygwin is the best non-VM option, as well as several threads here discussing why that might not be the case. Also see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort for related info, and many threads and tickets everywhere for the grief and/or annoyance trying to get this to work has caused. If you can get it to work on MinGW, that would be wonderful, naturally! - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
