RE: FW: Can't build Insight with Cygwin

["Spen" <spen@spen-soft.co.uk>]

Just to let you know that it does build under cygwin. I only make one patch
to enable building under the follow config.

Cygwin: 1.5.18
GCC 3.4.4

The patch can be found here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/insight/2005-q3/msg00021.html

I did run into one build problem after updating other cygwin pakages,
reinstalling gcc fixed the problems, could be with a try.

Regards
Spen

Hi,

I think you can use the patch command
(http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/patch.html) with the .diff file, I have
made it manually : you only have to open the three files listed ("RCS
file:") in the .diff file, and replace the - lines by the + lines at the
corresponding patterns.
I have tested to build on another config (with the same cygwin version :
1.5.18(0.132/4/2), and the same sources), and it seems to crash still ...

Good luck.
