Thanks for the post. Some quick comments though. > 1. Read the HowTo by Olivier Martin > http://emboss.sourceforge.net/download/cygwin.html
Although there is nothing really inaccurate about the HowTo it does imply that --without-x is essential. X windows works fine as long as you've installed it under cygwin. It also suggests using CFLAGS=-s to the configure, presumably to strip the binaries. This should not be required as the latest cygwin distributions automatically strip the binaries. > 2. If you find some compile error about "d_ino"(maybe the most popular > problem ^_^), you could try as follow: > *mv ajax/ajfile.c ajax/ajfile.bak > mv nucleus/embdbi.c nucleus/embdbi.bak > perl -pe 's/d_ino/__invalid_d_ino/g' ajax/ajfile.bak > ajax/ajfile.c > perl -pe 's/d_ino/__invalid_d_ino/g' nucleus/embdbi.bak > > nucleus/embdbi.c This would indeed work but you might as well apply all the fixes from: ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/fixes/ which fix this and other issues. > *3. Also you may find the "automake version" problem, try: > * aclocal - I m4 > autoconf > automake -a > and then make again. > * I don't think anyone has ever reported "the automake version" problem so I'm unsure what is meant here.
