[Java-readline-devel] Re: Building Java readline on Cygwin

[Bernhard B. <ma...@ba...>]

Hi,

I have commited changes to Makefile, src/native/Makefile and 
org_gnu_readline_Readline.c to support win32, especially cygwin.

Best thing is to checkout a complete set of sources, since there have been a 
number of changes to the sources recently.

To build under NT, type:

make build-java build-native WIN32=CYGWIN
make test WIN32=CYGWIN

or in case you have a MS C-Compiler

make build-java build-native WIN32=MSC
make test WIN32=MSC

Current status is: both JavaReadline and JavaGetline compile, link and load 
using cygwin, but as soon as a native method is called, java exists without 
further comments. I will investigate this in the next few days.

The MSC-build only works with Getline, and there are no problems.

Also JavaGetline compiles, links and loads under Linux, but using it produces 
a SIGSEGV (rather strange, since the relevant code has not changed recently, 
and it did already work :-()
