Hi,

Thanks for replying.

The root level README basically boils down to   :

./configure
 make

so I guess you mean the one in /snavigator/install.  This says :

"If you must rebuild Source-Navigator on Windows, please send mail
to sourcenav@sourceware.cygnus.com, and we will attempt to post
rational build instructions."

I have Visual C++ on my system,  and I tried setting CC to cl.exe before
running the configure, but it gave more errors than before.  Is there a set
of build instructions available for source navigator under Win NT ?

Actually,  I wouldn't mind following the othe advice in the
/snavigator/install/README.TXT file :

"use the binary distributions"    ;-)

The README.TXT file mentions a binary called SNWindows20000421.exe, is this
available anywhere ?

Thanks again,

Mike

You need to set CFLAGS to "-Z7 -Od" also. What kind of errors are you getting.

No, it isn't. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to be done soon. Sorry!

The key to getting the Windows version to build with Visual C++
is CC = cl.  This is because they are a bunch of comparision
in the configure file that will not work if CC = cl.exe.

Thanks a lot,  those changes made it work.

I have zipped up a copy of my executables,  would it make sense for them to
be hosted on the Sourcenav ftp site ?  (I would host them myself,  but the
GPL means I'd have to put up SN451.tag.gz as well,  and my service provider
only gives me 15 Mb :-/  )

Thanks again,


Mike

Re: Problem building Sourcenav under Cygwin (latest)

[Syd Polk]

We could host them until we get ours built. Can you point us to your ftp site?

Problem building Sourcenav under Cygwin (latest)

[Mike Davies]

Hi,

I have just installed the latest cygwin ,  and apart from creating a HOME
variable and some directories (/build,  /build/src, /build/build, /home,
home/mike, home/mike/install) it is completely as it came out of the box
(well,  the net).

I untarred the SN451.tar.gz to /build/src.  Then ran
"../src/configure --prefix=/home/mike/install" from /build/build which all
seemed to go OK.  When I ran make in /build/build I got this error at the
end :


make[1]: Entering directory `/build/build/tcl8.1'

it seems to have built OK in db and in grep.

The problem occurs on both NT 4.0 (sp4) and Win 2000 - any ideas what I am
doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Keep in mind that building sourcenav under Cygwin is
still "on the cutting edge", so you should expect to
have some problems. The build process is well tested
under Linux, not so much under Cygwin.

Try setting CFLAGS="-g -mno-cygwin" and then rerun
./configure. That should get rid of the #include
problems, but it is likely there are others
lurking in there, so you might need to do a bit of hacking.
The build support under Cygwin will be much improved
in the first development snapshot for 5.0.

Hi,

I tried that,  but it makes things worse - this time db and grep didn't
build.  Are there any estimated timescales for the defelopment snapshot to
be available ?

Ok, no more Cygwin build advice for me. If you don't want to hack it
yourself then you will just have to wait until we post a release
that builds under Cygwin out of the box. As always, the answer
to the question of "when will it be available" is "soon" or
"when it is ready".
