Re: [Opencxx-users] cygwin compilation problems

Hello,

Hello,
Some time ago I tried to install opencxx under cygwin too and had come problems. Unfortunately, I do not remember details. As far as I remember, the main functionality can be achieved under Cygwin.

I remember just a few problems:
1) Some files had deprecated names: aux.cc, aux.h. They were renamed in 2.8
2) Some files had the same names, becouse Windows file systems are not case-sensitive. I am not sure, it was fixed.
You will see these problems (if they are) during uploading/unzipping.

There were a number of topics about Cygwin in the maillist, so you can read an archive.

>  So, I have downloaded the latest opencxx CVS snapshot, which is opencxx-20050912.tar.gz (I got it from http://opencxx.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ ). The problem is that this snapshot doesn't have a "configure" file, so how can I generate the Makefile and install opencxx without the configure file?

You have to install autotools: automake, autoconf and may be come else. Then you have to run ./boostrap script to produce configure and Make files.

I think, it is useful to send error messages, if problem will occur.
