The adventure of building Bedrock in Cygwin: any help would be appreciated

[Jose Isaias Cabrera <jicman@outlook.com>]

Greetings.

After a few weeks trying to build Bedrock with gcc-6, I abandoned that idea and now I want to do it with the default cygwin compilers (gcc & g++ 7.4.0).

The first problem I encountered was,

libstuff/libstuff.h:7:10: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory

and this one I have commented out, which may be a mistake, but I don't care about back trace.  After that, I tried it again, and now I have a new problem:

$ CC=gcc GXX=g++ make
g++ -g -std=c++14 -fpic -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wformat-security -DGIT_REVISION=f6d58b9 -I/home/e608313/builds/Bedrock -I/home/e608313/builds/Bedrock/mbedtls/include -MMD -MF libstuff/libstuff.d -MT libstuff/libstuff.h.gch -c libstuff/libstuff.h
libstuff/libstuff.h: In function ‘bool SIEquals(const string&, const string&)’:
libstuff/libstuff.h:485:70: error: ‘strcasecmp’ was not declared in this scope

                                                                      ^~~~~~~~~~

                                                                      ^~~~~~~~~~
                                                                      strncmp

                           ^~~~
make: *** No rule to make target 'libstuff/libstuff.d', needed by '.build/libstuff/libstuff.d'.  Stop.

There is no configure script on the source directory, so according to Bedrock [1] this is all I need to build it:


# Clone out this repo:
git clone https://github.com/Expensify/Bedrock.git

# Install some dependencies
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 libpcre++-dev zlib1g-dev

# Build it
cd Bedrock
make

I have downloaded libpcre-devel v8.43-1 and zlib-devel 1.2.11-1 as well as zlib0 same version. I have opened a git ticket on the Bedrock site and I am waiting for some answers, but I am pretty sure that some of you may know what do to with this. : -) Thanks.
