ECL may be build with cygwin/mingw, then it works with cygwin/mingw runtime. You may also use MSVC, then you need to enter the msvc directory and issue nmake (see documentation for more precise instructions).

That said, did you try my previous suggestion with passing appropriate flags to cygwin?

So I zapped the gcc/g++, etc. from cygwin and did an install of mingw 64 bit outside of cygwin. I added the big directory from that to my path.

I did the "./configure --with-cmp=yes" and it finished: config.status: creating ecl/config.h config.status: creating ecl/config-internal.h Configuration complete. To build ECL, issue make in this directory.

Obviously, on windows I still have to use cygwin as my shell because that's what configure expects.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Garrett.

So the problem seems to be quite clear: your ecl build doesn't have the C compiler enabled. When you configure the build, include --with-cmp=yes (or builtin).

./configure --prefix=/my/cygwin/prefix --with-cmp=yes make && make install

Then C compiler should be available (you may still need to call (ext:install-c-compiler), you need to check it yourself because I don't remember whether bytecodes compiler is installed by default on cygwin, it is for msvc).

If it still doesn't work, please include a result of calling this code snippet:

(format t "~&~@{~12@A ~S~%~}" :version (lisp-implementation-version) :vcs-id (ext:lisp-implementation-vcs-id) :os (software-type) :os-version (software-version) :machine-type (machine-type) :features *features*)
