Getting singular and gap working together in cygwin

It is much better to use WSL instead.

Download and install cygwin

Select the following packages

Singular (search for singular and select all the related packages in debug, libs and math)
gmp (search for gmp and download the libraries in math section: gmp, libgmp*)
make (search for make, in devel section choose make: the gnu version of the make utility)
m4 (search for m4, select m4: GNU Implementation fo the traditional ....)
gcc (searchfor gcc, choose gcc-g++)

Proceed to install

Start cygwin (this will create your home directory)

Download gap from gap-system.org (the linux mac os version) place it somewhere in your home directory in cygwin

Uncompress the file (a tar xvf would do if you downloaded the tar version; this may take some time)

Enter the recently created directory containing gapr

Do a ./configure --with-gmp=system --with-readline=yes

Then make

You can now execute gap with bin/gap.sh. Place this file in your path so that gap will start gap.
