Well, the version of freeglut (2.4.0-1) on the Cygwin site is identical to our distro. And (predictably), it doesn't compile on the WinXP system I'm trying to put it on...with the same set of symptoms that I reported yesterday. Any ideas? -- Steve. |

How do I get a copy of Cygwin for my home computer? I didn't look too closely at your original e-mail but I did recognize a couple of things. Microsoft C++ objects to "long long", preferring "__int64" instead. But I would have thought that Cygwin wouldn't use Microsoft C++ as its compiler. John F.

It's a Windows package: http://www.cygwin.com - slap in the middle of that page there is a black and green "Install or update" icon...click it to download "setup.exe" then run that program - pick what you want to install (everything - probably) and let it go. What you end up with is pretty much identical to a Linux command-line window. If you know Linux/UNIX/BSD - you'll immediately be at home - you have g++/gcc, vi, emacs, make and all of the usual command line tools - with Bash and Tcsh. It sets up a set of Windows directories: C:\cygwin\usr C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\etc C:\cygwin\home ...etc... ....but inside the Cygwin shell - they look like: /usr /bin /etc /home ...etc... ...and within Cygwin your Windows file system looks like: /cygdrive/c /cygdrive/d ....and so on. It works reasonably well - and you can almost imagine you're using a proper computer. > I didn't look too closely at your original e-mail but I did recognize a > couple of things.

It's using good old gcc/g++. The issue is that you're still writing programs for Windows - even though you can feel like you're running Linux. That means that you need all of the standard Windows header files....and I'm not sure how it finds them. |
