Hey there, I have gotten Gdome2 to compile under
Cygwin, by hacking up a script provided by Tobias Peters at http://libgdome-ruby.berlios.de/build_on_windows.html
The thing is, his script is highly outdated (not
the fault of him, it's just how things get) and it took a lot of banging my head
against the wall to get it to successfully work.
Thus, I was wondering if the changes to
./Makefile.in and ./libgdome/Makefile.in that it made could be integrated
into the Gdome CVS. How it does it is that he adds a 'dll' trigger to the
makefile, so typing 'make dll' will generate a cygwin DLL library. Otherwise,
you get a statically linked one (archive file, .a) which I could not get to link
with my program. If that doesn't sit well with the developers, we could put a
test in configure.in or an associated m4 file that would stick all that stuff in
if cygwin was discovered to be the target/host OS.
The reason the statically linked library that it
generated didn't work is because it wouldn't recognize the glib and libxml2
imports I was linking with as well with my program for some reason, if
anyone has an idea I'd love to know.
Now I just have to get glib behaving sanely under
cygwin and things should be set. :)
