RE: [gnome-db] Compiling libgda under cygwin

["Daniel Morgan" <danmorg sc rr com>]

Rodrigo,

A little progress...

All my glib2 stuff gets put in the mono install prefix.  This includes
the aclocal stuff.  I should have realized this earlier.  So, I needed
to to include the aclocal stuff as well.  This is why I was getting an
error message about not finding AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT.  Aclocal could not
find the GLib2 macros.

The error message "aclocal: configure.in: 60: macro
`AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library Running".

So, I took a hint from the mono download page, and included the aclocal.
For example:
Export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $HOME/mono/install/share/aclocal"

I still get errors during ./autogen.sh when compiling libgda under
cygwin, but at least it can find the AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT macro now.

yes, looking at gnome-xml sources might be a good example, since it uses
auto*, and it works on many platforms, included cygwin, AFAIK.
