Re: [fricas/fricas] Fricas failed to compile on msys2? (#14)

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hi and welcome to FriCAs,

the FriCAS project currently still prefers discussion vial the
fricas-devel mailing list.

I cannot check your problem, because I don't have Windows, but that
error sounds strange. It says

configure: creating ./config.status

at configure time and then complains

make: *** No rule to make target '/f/fricas-build/config.status',
needed by 'Makefile'. Stop.

at make time. Can you check where your config.status file was created?

BTW, if I were you, I would try to compile on WSL2. That way you could
perhaps even help the FriCAS project with a report on the installation
procedure.

Ralf
