CYGWIN - newLISP Compile from Stable Source Possible?

Hi all,

I did a search on the board and from what I could gather newLISP was at one time supported in CYGWIN?

Is it possible to compile the latest stable newLISP source in CYGWIN?

If so, does anyone have a networked resource online they could share?

I'm trying to get my newLISP program that depends on BASH scripts to run in Windows.

Maybe I don't understand very well your question, but... using cygwin on windows (and the bash terminal) you can execute windows commands (e.g.: dir).
So, why don't you simply use windows version and recall it from bash cygwin?
(sorry but I use linux, so I said what I remeber in the time I used windows, some times ago).

I use this for my unix on windows..

Running a windows version of newlisp with GnuWin32 work fine..

Not sure if bash is inthere but then again it depends on your bash
scripting if its a little portable between ksh or zsh ..etc..

newdep,

You helped me remember gnuwin32 and I think it will work for what I am trying to accomplish.

Thank you for the suggestion!

If you do rely on bash then there are some compiled bash
version for windows out there..(not the one from cywin)

There is also MSYS, a BASH command shell for Win32 coming with many GNU utilities. It also can host the MinGW compiler see http://www.mingw.org/ . This is the environment used to build newLISP for Win32.
