Has anyone tried to run CMUCL under services for UNIX on Windows? SFU
it's a UNIX subsystem running on top of the NT kernel. After some
googling i found that some people said it was not possible to run CMUCL
under cygwin out of the box because of the way cygwin works internally.
I wonder if it might be possible to put it to work under SFU or other
UNIX subsystem.
Thanks!

I researched this approximately 1 year ago using the 3.5 release of
SFU and determined there are problems with the POSIX-style signal
handling on SFU which make this port impossible. If you search for my
name on the SFU technical forums you can watch the story unravel.

It might be possible to convince it to run under coLinux, but I haven't
tried (all my computers have been windoze-free since last century).
coLinux is linux ported to the windows NT kernel, a sort of
family-secret-abomination cousin of the now-commonplace "user mode
linux" (linux ported to linux). One of those things that's known to be
possible in theory but probably not a particularly sane thing to do,
then someone goes and actually does it.

SBCL is reported to run under colinux, so I can think of no
particularly fundamental reason that CMUCL shouldn't.
