changed:
-  See:
  Please read the INSTALL file in the FriCAS distribution, which you 
can get via subversion as 

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

or 
from 

  http://fricas.sourceforge.net/download.html

changed:
-  Download the source from the repository:
-
-- svn co https://fricas.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fricas/trunk fricas

-  For how to prepare an MSYS/MinGW system to build FriCAS
-on Windows see: BuildOnWindows

-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.

-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.

Finally, note that in the instructions we use CLISP as 
Common Lisp implementation. In principle, it should work with 
any Common Lisp with a little patching.  You can find details 
about supported Common Lisps and required versions in the 
INSTALL file in the FriCAS distribution.


Building on Linux

Please read the INSTALL file in the FriCAS? distribution, which you can get via subversion as

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

or from

http://fricas.sourceforge.net/download.html

Building on Windows

FriCAS? also works with MinGW? (see BuildOnWindows?), 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".

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 in the instructions we use CLISP as Common Lisp implementation. In principle, it should work with any Common Lisp with a little patching. You can find details about supported Common Lisps and required versions in the INSTALL file in the FriCAS? distribution.
