  Download the source from the repository:

- svn co https://fricas.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fricas/trunk fricas

FriCAS also works with MinGW, but currently you won't get
graphics nor HyperDoc (the help facility), so if you are
mainly interested in "using" FriCAS, I guess Cygwin is the
better bet.

For step by step instructions for downloading and building
using CYGWIN see BuildOnCygwin

There is yet another alternative, which is called "andLinux".

There is a cygwin binary produced by Alfredo Portes ....

If you encounter any difficulties, please don't hesitate to ask.
We are grateful for every bit that improves the MS Windows port!

Finally, note that below we use CLISP as Common Lisp implementation.
In principle, it should work with any Common Lisp (supported:

* GCL, 2.6.7 or prerelease 2.6.8

* sbcl, 1.0.7 or later

* clisp, 2.41 or later

* openmcl, 1.1 prerelase 070512 or later

* ECL, 0.9j or later)

with a little patching, of which sbcl should be fastest.
