Re: [geomview-users] Geomview configure time_t error - Windows

Ryan, I've been using Geomview on 32-bit Cygwin on 64-bit Windows since at least 2009. Like other 32-bit apps, cygwin works; Windows is generally good at backward compatibility, if nothing else, and any problems that I've encountered are generally due to changes in Cygwin itself, rather than Windows. 64-bit cygwin is much more recent. In a clean newly unpacked new build of Geomview I get: checking for size_t... (cached) yeschecking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yeschecking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.hchecking for M_PI... yes Not sure how to wipe the cached value for autoconf to rederive from scratch. The reason for asking you to test 64-bit cygwin in your environment is to see if the same problem occurs, or not, under it when building Geomview, which provides useful debugging information - because time_t is likely handled differently in 64-bit. It's two-sample hypothesis testinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/B_testing Do let us know the results of that...

HasGeomview in Cygwin-32 been known to not work well with 64-bit PC’s? Again, thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Subject: Geomview configure time_t error - Windows well, that clearly indicates the time detection problem; there's a reason error messages appear... it's so they can be cut and pasted and reported. do you have windows administrator privileges? your home cygwin directory lives under C:\cygwin\home\ryann cd /home/ryann in an xterm, create a directory, work from there. you might also want to read some cygwin tutorials. (what are the odds that this is something to do with changes to running 32-bit cygwin on 64-bit windows and/or esr's smugsmugsmug rewrite of ntp? http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6863 I haven't tried updating my 32/64 cygwin packages under win64 and rebuilding geomview to see if I can duplicate this on very current cygwin - now out of available time...) what happens if you try configure geomview on cygwin64? it can be installed in parallel, tree under c:\cygwin64.

(I could add a 'move the file from Downloads' step. Compiling and working in Downloads is not a good idea.

Subject: Re: geomview-users post from rya...@ni... requires approval Ryan you need to subscribe to the mailing list so that I don't have to personally approve all your messages. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geomview-users Cygwin user accounts live under /home, e.g. /home/ryann While C:\Users\ryann\Downloads\geomview-1.9.5 exists and is mapped to /cygdrive/C/Users/ryann/Downloads/geomview-1.9.5 (as is shown in your config.log), it's not a usual choice for storing program files. (No spaces in the pathname, which can be more of a problem from unwary scripts if e.g. you built under Documents\ and\ Settings.) But I copied the Geomview tarball to my C: Downloads directory and could configure and make just fine. How are you cd'ing to that Downloads directory? Please do: ./configure > foo in that geomview directory and send the output of foo - that will capture all of the detection messages that configure otherwise spits to stdout and the screen. The foo output of my configure in my Downloads directory is attached for comparison.

I installed Geomview 1.9.5 and I am executing the./configure command (followed by the make command) in the directory C:\Users\ryann\Downloads\geomview-1.9.5, which does have three files titled “makefile” in it: “makefile”, “makefile.in”, and “makefile.am” I am using 32-bit Cygwin since 64-bit Cygwin was not recommended. I am attaching my makefiles as well as the config.log so you can see what spits out after I execute./configure. Thanks again, ~Ryan From:llo...@ya...

(Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit Cygwin? piping to Geomview still doesn't work on 64-bit, so 32-bit is better. Install Virtualbox, install debian, click to install Geomview is much easier.)
