hello,
I tried to build Insight 6.1 release version for use with cygwin.
unfortunately, no insight executable is made. I also applied a patch
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2004-q2/msg00032.html) but it didn't
help. any hints?
than I tried again with snapshot (insight+dejagnu-20040404) and now I get
the following error message.
----
checking for c++... c++
checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ -g -O2 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot
cre
ate executables.
make: *** [configure-dejagnu] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/gdb'
-----
any ideas?
it seems that gcc is not installed properly. actually it was installed by
cygwin.
I have win2000, cygwin 1.5.10-3, gcc 3.3.1.
thanks.
Willy

Very good! That patch will definitely be necessary. So what happens with
the build? Did you regenerate the toplevel configure? Does it just not
create the insight executable? What about a gdb executable?
As for the snapshot...

As you indicate, it appears that your compiler installation is hosed.
Can you compile a simple "hello-world"-like application in c and c++?
You might try reinstalling gcc in your cygwin configuration (?).

the gdb was build and calling gdb with the -w switch has no effect..

I reinstalled gcc but it didn't help and I can build other executables (like
gdb in the previous configuration).

Please be explicit: did you regenerate configure after apply the patch?
If you did not regenerate configure, the patch will have no effect. [To
regenerate configure, run "autoconf" in the directory containing the
patched configure.in file, i.e, src/.]

Gdb does not use c++. Do you have g++ installed? [Can you build a simple
helloworld executable in c++?]
In any case, dejagnu and expect are not required for the build. You
could erase src/expect and src/dejagnu from your sources and reconfigure
and rebuild. You won't be able to test anything, though.

Just as an extra datapoint for Keith, the patch worked for me; after
regenerating, I got a complete build with both gdb and insight exes.
However....
> the gdb was build and calling gdb with the -w switch has no effect..
... I've found that there's two problems:
1) The cygwin-hosted gdb executable simply doesn't recognize the -w
switch; you *have* to invoke the insight executable. I don't know if it is
supposed to work or not, but copying and renaming the gdb executable to
insight also doesn't work: the two exes seem to be substantively different.
2) It can only successfully find the tcl/tk IWidgets package when it's
running from the install location, so you have to do "make install" and then
run that. It can't run in gui mode from the build directory, even if you
use the insight exe.
cheers,
DaveK

hello,
I installed cygwin, gcc and autoconf again, I applied the patch and now the
Insight 6.1 works :)
thanks.
