There are some issues using the cygwin compiler, mainly that the tests won't pass as the sockets all break for strange reasons. Although Mingw isn't much better in this regard. It did also seem to have trouble compiling under cygwin on various machines for reason that I could never explain (oh the joy of using Cygwin). I've got no problem using it so long as it works :)
I tried running the autogen.sh in my cygwin bash shell and this is what I get /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT aclocal:configure.ac:43: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library aclocal:configure.ac:57: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CPPUNIT' not found in library configure.ac:52: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

(the > only system that I have not tested was Solaris) This may present some problems for people on older Solaris machines such as Solaris 8, as there aren't really any distributions on newer versions of the tools being maintained anymore. It looks like it might be okay on my Solaris 10 machine, but I'd have to install CPPUNIT first. We are using CPP_UNIT 1.11.6 btw. > > -- > Regards, > Hiram > > Blog: http://hiramchirino.com
