Why has so much time been spent on it, without success? William wrote in 2007 Sage would probably never be built on Cygwin http://markmail.org/message/fapx25o3kqipdeg2 Then in 2010 described how he got it to build https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/sage-windows/ygK1kJm9p9w and while I can't find the post, I think William later expressed some doubt whether it would ever work properly. I am on my mobile phone now, so not too easy to browse the web, but I pretty sure that the Cygwin port was due to be finished before the Solaris port. Maybe there's a case for a fresh start with more modest aims and a cleaner interface. Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
