Building FriCAS on Windows

I installed a completely new MinGW/MSYS configuration from the current file list here

In the following order:

1. MinGW-5.1.3.exe

   This package will install mingw-runtime, w32api, GCC, binutils and mingw32-make. See the instructions for Getting Started

2. MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe

   This installation file contains basic Unix-style commands plus a commandline shell. See How to install MSYS

3. msysDTK-1.0.1.exe

   This package provides common packages that are needed by developers.

4. You will also need svn.

   Here are instructions to download and install the windows version of svn

5. Install the windows LaTeX packaged called MiKTeX

6. Download the FriCAS or OpenAxiom repositories.
7. Configure and make
