Not surprising given the flurry of emails.

There is a long standing problem that on Windows you have to copy by hand
the daase files by hand half way through the build:

   cp src/share/algebra/*.daase int/algebra/

This may be related to the issue mentioned here last night:

   http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2004-12/msg00117.htm

which I have yet to look into.

One thing I forgot to mention in that email is that I have also noticed in
the past hard wired Unix paths in the Makefiles some of which I fixed but
not yet pervasively.

There is a second daase problem (recent) in that the arch archive for
Windows either downloaded onto my machine incorrectly or else is completely
missing the src/share directory (tla is not working very well for me).
