compile error with 0.0.1.26 under cygwin

[Luigi01]

Hi all,
I tried to upgrade from 0.0.1.25 to 0.0.1.26 but get an error running ./configure with the new version under my up-to-date cgywin environment. I then also downloaded the log4cpp-1.0 package which produced now errors doing ./configure, make, make install but my ./configure error below does not go away. Could you please give me some idea what could be wrong? Thanks a lot in advance!

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LOG4CPP_CFLAGS
and LOG4CPP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hi,

I only tested it on cygwin using --without-log4cpp option.
Can you try the following commands and tell me what's the output.

/usr/local/bin/log4cpp-config --version
pkg-config --modversion log4cpp

Additionally, finding where the file log4cpp.pc is copied when log4cpp is installed and setting the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that value could help.

Regards,

Jean-François

Hi, thanks for you quick response!

$ /usr/local/bin/log4cpp-config --version
1.0

but:

$ pkg-config --modversion log4cpp
Package log4cpp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `log4cpp.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'log4cpp' found

I found the log4cpp.pc in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig but noticed that my PKG_CONFIG_PATH was empty. But setting the path with
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
does not change above error entering
pkg-config --modversion log4cpp

Very strange. Any ideas?

Hi,

Please try :

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --modversion log4cpp

Hi Jean-Francois,
that helped, thank you! Now log4cpp is ok but...
the next missing package in my cygwin environment is lua5.1  (see log below).
I searched the web but only found a lua5.1-binary for cygwin. I could not manage to compile the lua5.1 sources within my cygwin.

Sorry,  but as you notice I am a newbee to linux(cygwin) and better should use a ready compiled linknx in my cygwin. Is one available?

Thanks a lot!
Luigi

Hi,

I just managed to compile linknx under cygwin with lua configured.
It was not so easy because lua doesn't build as a library by default.

First I downloaded http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.4.tar.gz
uncompressed it in /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src/lua-5.1.4/src
Edit Makefile, add "cygwin" at the end of the platform list like this:
PLATS= aix ansi bsd freebsd generic linux macosx mingw posix solaris cygwin
and add the following make target (after the solaris target for example)
cygwin:
    $(MAKE) "LUA_A=lua51.dll" "LUA_T=lua.exe" \     "AR=$(CC) -shared -o" "RANLIB=strip --strip-unneeded" \     "MYCFLAGS=-DLUA_USE_POSIX -DLUA_USE_DLOPEN -DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL" \     "MYLIBS=-lreadline -lhistory -lncurses" "MYLDFLAGS=-s" lua.exe
    $(MAKE) "LUAC_T=luac.exe" luac.exe

(be careful to use tabs and not spaces to indent lines in makefile)

Then:
cd /usr/local/src/lua-5.1.4
make cygwin
make install
cp /usr/local/src/lua-5.1.4/etc/lua.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --modversion lua

The last command should answer: 5.1.4

Then you can restart the ./configure command of linknx and hope it will finally detect lua

I have added a binary package for cygwin in the download section:
https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=207555&filename=linknx-0.0.1.26-cygwin.zip&a=27781946

Hi,

I also managed to compile libesmtp for cygwin.
I needed to add the following declaration at the beginning of libesmtp-1.0.4/headers.c (just after the includes:
struct timeval {
   time_t tv_sec;
   suseconds_t tv_usec;
};

Then
./configure --enable-emulate-getaddrinfo
make
make install

and back to linknx compilation

Jean-Francois,
today I finally had time to upgrade to 0.0.1.26 using your Cygwin compiled version.
I just want to say that I had to install the openssl and curl packages via the Cygwin Setup.exe because the dll's are not installed by default.

Thank you very much again for this great tool!
