[Fontforge-devel] fontforge and cygwin

[Heiko J. <hei...@gm...>]

Hello

I just trying to compile fontforge under cygwin and have some problems ...

cygwin is fresh because of new laptop (windows 7 64 bit) and adding
some things fontforge wanted to have ...

fontforge is cloned from git, so also newest sources ...

also cloned from git or from tar: libspiro and both libuni*

after bootstrap ./configure says, that there are now libspiro
and libuni* ... Mmmmh ... I saw, that configure only uses /lib
and /usr/lib, but the 3 things are installed to /usr/local/lib
as default.
How to say configure, that it should use also /usr/local-stuff?
(Besides libs may be incs etc., too ... don't know ...)

Starting make it stops at Unicode/ucharconv.c because of missing libiconv
Looking at cygwin installer I found libiconv including devel 1.14-1
and libiconv2 installed, only debug version not installed.
I found libiconv.(dll.)a at (/usr)/lib, so it should be found?!

Then I configured --without-iconv
Now it compiles fine ...
... until it reaches directory fontforgeexec and there
CCLD libfontforgeexec.la
There make produces a loooooong list of errors. It seems that make
found NOTHING of things compiled before ...
starting in function MakeParallel with undefined reference to
SplineRefigure, but splinerefigure.(l)o are in neoghbourhood directory
fontforge as I would assume it ...
Also a pahth problem? Solution?
