Title: Building the source code with Cygwin?
Post by: OldShofixti on December 12, 2002, 07:09:54 pm
Hi all,

I'm interested in building the CVS code with Cygwin on the Win32 platform, but before I begin, I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this. If so, is there anything I need to keep in mind, other than downloading the required libraries?

If the code doesn't yet build with Cygwin, are there any plans to do so in a future release (even if it is after 1.0)?

Thanks!

IIRC the plan was to eventually get the *nix build scripts to work on cygwin too. Though the code currently is polluted with #ifdef WIN32 stuff meant for VC only, which needs probably to be fixed first etc. If you try it, tell how it goes :)
