[Gwc-general] Fwd: Help with compile on cygwin 1.7

[Guy S. <jim...@gm...>]

Jeff,

I'm hoping you can help me out. I LOVE your application. I used it
extensively to record some old holiday albums which I made as a Christmas
gift to my siblings. Now I want to use it again. Unfortunately, in the
interim, my laptop has, for various reasons, been reverted to its original
Windows OS and thus I no longer have an Ubuntu install I can use your
program in.

So, I've looked at the two options I have, run it in a VM (Sun VirtualBox)
and run it under cygwin. The VM route won't work at all. I was able to
install it, but the data files are >1 Gb and just loading one takes 15
minutes, then, unfortunately, gwc crashes. Not enough RAM, etc. is my
thinking.

I turned to cygwin. Things were looking pretty good, actually. I have the
devel packages installed and configure runs to completion without error.
Make starts and all is looking fine until it gets to audio_util.c. Then all
hell breaks loose :-) Unfortunately I'm no C programmer and even with make
in debug mode there is little I can make sense of.  Make is successful on
these files:

tap_reverb_file_io.c
tap_reverb.c
reverb.c
dialog.c
gwc.c
audio_device.c
audio_edit.c

Here's the make output on audio_util.c at this point:

I checked fmtheaders.h and the lines that gcc is hollering about seem to be:

<quote>
# ifndef MAC_OS_X
# ifndef __u_char_defined
typedef __u_char u_char;
typedef __u_short u_short;
typedef __u_int u_int;
typedef __u_long u_long;
typedef __quad_t quad_t;
typedef __u_quad_t u_quad_t;
typedef __fsid_t fsid_t;
#  define __u_char_defined
# endif
# endif /* MAC_OS_X*/
</quote>

And that's it. I would not have thought the warnings would lead to
catastrophic failure (other c files also produce such warnings yet compile
successfully). I've tried running just gcc on audio_utils.c with the right
syntax and -o audio_utils.o for output and gcc reports the same warnings, no
errors and no abort, but also no object file output.

I know this is still a long way from done done -- but it's a start. I wish I
had the programming chops to figure this out (just reading through the c
code makes me glad that I only need to do the occasional shell/Perl script
:-), but I don't so I have to turn to you. I did check the cygports project
and they don't make your excellent tool as part of it.
