[PlayerStage-Gazebo] Compiling gazebo.

[Douglas T. <dou...@gm...>]

Hello, all,

I am trying to compile gazebo on cygwin. I think this is possible based on
other posts where people have said they have successfully done so or made
headway doing so. I seem to be able to ./configure my installation, however=
,
when I run "make" it returns this error:

=3D=3D begin error =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

I get the impression from searching archives and google that there is an
issue with cygwin's X-Windows not quite supporting what gazebo wants to do.
It seems that I have to somehow sidestep X-Windows and use the Windows
libraries in cygwin. I'm sure I have found said libraries in my
/usr/include/w32api/GL directory. However, my naive experience with same
leaves me scratching my head. Does anyone have a moment to explain how I ca=
n
get around this?

Best regards,

Doug
