Has anyone completed a cygwin build?
After 10 days of building[1] and extreme frustration I now have most of a
cygwin build in place. Currently I'm having trouble with the tclx build
for some reason since it keeps thinking it's on windows and then fails
because it's really unix. Has anyone seen this problem? I need it for
GAIA.
I was going to make a "technology preview" available on the web site but
I'm rapidly losing motivation....
One failure so far in that mmap/munmap clearly don't work. HDS only
functions if HDS_MAP=0.
[1] On a 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo Merom with 2 GB RAM so no slouch. 4200
bogomips on linux [2]
[2] How is cygwin at all usable? It takes 15 seconds to run libtool in
between compiling each file!!!! That's crazy. I could live with it if
cygwin didn't then stop the build every 20 minutes because it temporarily
failed to get resources during a fork or something. And also, how come
no-one tells you to run rebaseall after you've installed it all? Took me
ages to work out why some programs would simply not run because of shared
library address clashes.
