I do have Cygwin > installed but understand PA doesn't use that. PA once built on Windows, but that was (as you say) a fairly old version released by Cendio. Since that time, changes have been committed that are incompatible with mingw and/or Cygwin, but the changes are nonetheless beneficial to PA's feature set and performance on Linux/OSX/UNIX. PA will need to be "re-ported" to Windows to build a more recent version of PA on Windows. However, rather than porting an old version, I think it makes sense to port the current git master, and keep updating it whenever someone commits a patch that does not properly deal with Windows toolchain and/or library discrepancies. There have been quite some volunteers I've observed on the ML volunteering to contribute patches to fix PA on Windows, but I don't know of the degree to which they've been successful. On the other hand, Cygwin 1.7 is said to improve on its compatibility with existing Linux-targeted sources, so it may be worth it to re-examine that option. I might not be up to date on the latest developments, but I think it's safe to say that current PA git master is unlikely to compile on Windows under any toolchain. > > Finally isn't wavein just for recording.
