Hello all,
I'm trying to build GNUstep Base under Cygwin. So far, I've done the
following
I attempted to get GS working on cygwin several times. This would have
quite some advantages: cygwin is ubiquitous, also, and this would be the
main advantage, you can use both win32 as X11 with cygwin and thus test
windows code independently from the backend. Some developers feel that
it is not worth the effort and you will get little help.
You may check a thread of Fred and me as report of 2011 with the title
"new attempt GNUstep on cygwin".
In theory, cygwin is more unix-like, so porting to it should be easier.
You need to be careful not to install "mingw" stuff from inside cygwin
though, mingw starts from cygwin.
In some parts of the core we distinguish "windows" with just mingw,
while a finer-grained distiction is needed. If you are peeking at this,
I'll update cygwin and try again!
