I was able to run SaVi (http://savi.sf.net/) under both, with OpenGL and piping between Geomview and SaVi working so that SaVi could control Geomview. (64-bit working with SaVi was a pleasant surprise - I had not been able to get piping between Geomview and remote control apps working previously in 64-bit, when compiling Geomview myself. And 64-bit OpenGL is good to finally see working, too.) However, Geomview's supplied modules aren't listed in the right panel of its main window, suggesting it hasn't been configured and built with xforms and with Tcl/Tk, which its modules need. I have some notes with hints on this at: http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/SaVi/running-under-Windows/ Add in the Geomview modules in a -2, and I think both 32- and 64-bit Geomview will be more than good to include in Cygwin distributions, which would be worthwhile since building Geomview can be very tricky.(*) On a related note, as you're associated with Cornell Math you know of DsTool. Patrick Worfolk worked on the v3 Tk version of that before he did SaVi, which I maintain, and it can also work with Geomview. DsTool can be made to work on 32-bit Cygwin with Tcl/Tk 8.5 (not 64-bit or 8.6 - seems to be reaching end of life as is) and could, with a bit of updating, be made current as another optional Geomview module that can also run standalone without Geomview, just like SaVi. I have some notes on DsTool at http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/DsTool/ and there's some recent discussion of DsTool on the geomview-users mailing list. (*) Okay, I'm now aware of the BLODA issue, which likely explains why configure tests fail in my building Geomview, suggests that anything needing autotools to build may be best off as an installable package, and also helps explain why Cygwin is slow, particularly in disk accesses, on an i5 machine, and why my typing in cygwin occasionally does things like: $ whhhicccchhhhhhhhhhhh geeomview bash: whhhicccchhhhhhhhhhhh: command not found regards Lloyd Wood lloyd.wood@yahoo.co.uk http://about.me/lloydwood ________________________________ From: Ken Brown To: cygwin@cygwin.com Cc: Lloyd Wood Sent: Saturday, 10 June 2017, 6:39 Subject: Re: configure fails on checking ino_t On 6/7/2017 2:21 AM, Lloyd Wood via cygwin wrote: > download geomview 1.9.5 from http://www.geomview.org > this used to build on cygwin 32-bit. I've just build geomview-1.9.5 on both 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin, using the attached cygport file and patches. If it works well, I'll propose it for inclusion in the Cygwin distribution. I have no experience with geomview, so I can't really test it adequately. Would you be willing to try out my build and tell me if it seems OK? If so, you can get it from my personal Cygwin repository: http://sanibeltranquility.com/cygwin/ There are instructions at that site. Note: I have other packages there that you probably don't want to install, so be careful to just choose geomview (and let setup install its dependencies).
