Insight 6.1 compile error in Cygwin

Insight 6.1 compile error in Cygwin

[E. Weddington]

Hello!

[Sorry to break the threading on the Insight mailing list. Mozilla 
Thunderbird does not handle replying to individual messages in a digest!]

I wanted to mention that I used to be able to build Insight 6.1 
(technically a cross to the AVR target) in Cygwin. I just discovered 
that I too am getting the same kinds of error messages, that starts off 
with:

/usr/include/w32api/winsock2.h:95:2: warning: #warning "fd_set and 
associated macros have been defined in sys/types.      This may cause 
runtime problems with W32 sockets"
../../../insight-6.1/tcl/win/tclWin32Dll.c:54: error: initializer 
element is not constant
../../../insight-6.1/tcl/win/tclWin32Dll.c:54: error: (near 
initialization for `asciiProcs.buildCommDCBProc')

and continues.

Because I used to be able to build it in Cygwin (about a month ago), I'm 
wondering if this is some sort of *recent* Cygwin issue. (I think I 
might've upgraded my Cygwin since then.)

The reason why I CC'd you Dave, is that I know you're very active on the 
Cygwin list. Do you remember anything there that might pertain to this?

Thanks
Eric

  That's the second time _TODAY_ and the third time _THIS_WEEK_ that this question
has cropped up on *this* very list right here.  The answer to it was in the post
*IMMEDIATELY* before your one.  Check the list archives at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/, or to be precise the latest period's
archive at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2004-q4/ :

  Doesn't *anybody* STFW anymore?

Sure. :-)

The links that you gave in your last message here:
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2004-q4/msg00046.html>
were to the recent messages on the Insight list, or to Google searches 
that point to the Insight list.

It would've been more helpful if you could've just pointed here instead:
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg00716.html>
That's the one I was trying to remember. Which is on the CYGWIN list not 
the Insight list. Plus it was non-obvious that it had anything to do 
with Insight; you just said you were trying to build Tcl.

Sorry to have bugged you.

Eric

And my apologies for not seeing the links *after* the quoted post which 
contained what I was looking for.

  LOL, your timing is perfect.  I had just written a reply saying just that[*].
Then I said to myself "Nah, I'll give him another ten seconds, to see if he
notices it himself".  Counted to 10, hit Send/Receive all, got your message,
ditched the draft one I was writing.  Hope you should have all you need to get it
working now!

    cheers,
