Yes, it is. (As part of my largest commit this week-end). Configure detects (or can be told through --without-x) that X11 is not available. Consequently we don't build the X11 parts in src/ (e.g. graph, hyper). However, I just discover that I did not commit the corresponding part for src/lib. Before you waste your time trying, let me correct that part first. | > The purpose of the exercise of building build-improvements on | > cygwin (or mingw) is to see how effective the separation is, | > and what remains to have an effective build. | | I would think that that main reason for using cygwin would be | because you want X11 and pseudo terminals. No? But under native | Windows this separation is necessary. the reason I chosed to use cygwin for the host and build machine is that it provides some POSIX/Unix functionalities that I'm not sure I have under mingw, and on the other hand I can convince GCC to generate mingw binaries from cygwin. It was not for the X11 stuff. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
