Re: [Plib-users] PLIB-1.8.5 make errors

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

DB,

	Unfortunately I am not an expert on either SSG or cygwin.  I downloaded 
cygwin a couple of months ago and tried building PLIB in it so that I can 
reproduce your error.  After some adventures with "dos2unix" (I'm trying to 
build the SVN version of PLIB, which I downloaded using a Windows 
TortoiseSVN version), I'm running "configure."

	The root of your problem is a "#define" on line 243 of the offending file. 
 Windows, in the infinite wisdom of Microsoft, decided that "stat" needed 
to be "_stat" and the rest of the world is living with the consequences. 
 An immediate fix to your problem is tochange the "#if" on line 242 of 
"ssgLoadTexture.cxx" to the following:

		#if defined(UL_WIN32) && !defined(UL_CYGWIN)

Unfortunately that doesn't actually solve the problem.  Through a chain of 
inclusions, we get back to "util/ul.h" which defines "UL_CYGWIN" if the 
symbol "__CYGWIN__" is defined.  Apparently the latter symbol is not 
defined, and somebody with more knowledge than I needs to put something in 
the Makefile to define it.

Hi,

I've downloaded the current stable plib-1.8.5 and performed the following 
operations in cygwin:
 ./configure --prefix=/fg-1.9.0
and make.

but something went wrong.
I received the following error:

I'll appreciate your help.
