[Audacity-devel] Patch to compile with Cygwin

[Dave F. <dav...@co...>]

All,

Attached is a zip file containing a patch that should make Audacity 
compile with Cygwin for everyone, as well as a couple of Makefiles that 
need to be placed to compile portaudio and portmixer under cygwin.  The 
patch was achieved with the following command line:

dfancella@kenobi /home/dfancella/audacity
$ cvs 
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/audacity diff 
configure.in src/widgets/ASlider.cpp src/effects/NoiseRemoval.cpp 
src/effects/LoadEffects.cpp src/AudacityApp.cpp 
lib-src/libresample/src/resample_defs.h src/Makefile.in > cygwinpatch.patch

I'm pretty sure I got all the files in there.  :)  Also, I'm not 
familiar at all with making patches and committing them to CVS, so there 
may be problems with the patch just because of that.  Hopefully not, 
though.  ;)

In the zip file are two directories, portaudio and portmixer, that 
contain Makefiles.  They need to be placed in the source tree for the 
respective libraries in the directory pa_win_wmme (for portaudio) and 
px_win_wmme (for portmixer).  I'm also without a clue what the 
relationship of the libraries bundled with audacity to the projects 
themselves are, so if someone could point me in the direction to submit 
my Makefiles for portaudio and portmixer, I would appreciate it (I know, 
portmixer is dominic's baby, so i've already submitted that to the right 
person :) ).

If anyone tries to compile with these changes, let me know the results.  
You will have to configure it --without-libid3tag --without-libvorbis 
--without-libmad --without-nyquist.  Also, localization will likely not 
work without the msgfmt application installed, and maybe some others.  I 
haven't gone into fixing localization, yet; it may just be that I need 
to install the programs that handle it.  Also, I wound up upgrading 
wxWindows to 2.4.1.  You have to compile wxWindows 2.4.1 and do "make && 
make install" under Cygwin in order for GCC to see it.  I didn't get it 
to work with 2.4.0.  That's the only external dependency you'll have to 
compile, the other dependencies that work right now are bundled already 
with audacity.

This work is experimental, naturally, so there are likely problems.  
There is also at least one feature completely disabled that shouldn't be 
disabled in Windows (associating the .aup extension with audacity on the 
registry), and there may be others.  Given some time, these will all be 
fixed.  :)
