Already built GMP and MPFR. Now running 'make' on MPC. This one should take less time than MPFR. GMP took a good 3 hours just to run make. YIKES. Later.
I've been a Cygwin user for a long time, and I like it, but
another possibility here for you is WSL (Windows Subsystem
for Linux). It's a pretty easy install, and because it is
done by Microsoft and can reliably use internal interfaces,
there are ways in which it is more Linux-like -- for many
packages you can just do apt-get install and they work. In
my experience the performance is comparable to Cygwin, maybe
a touch faster (but no where near as fast for heavy forking
as running inside a Virtual Box Ubuntu virtual machine, for
example). It has its limitations, for sure, but I have found
it helpful for some things.
