Okay, progress on trying to get evolution to build on cygwin: you need: gettext, libiconv and wget from GNU
I've been using GARNOME to get things to build, as it's easy :) db3 makefile needs some minor hacking to get it to install (a bunch of targets need .exe appended to them, auto* magic should be able to fix this) g_strsignal (from memory) uses 'extern char* strsignal(int)' but on CYGWIN (for some reason) it's return type is 'const char*' - might have to query people about the reasons behind that - it's possibly just historical... although i had to give up today when gcc stopped working. got unable to fully load errors or some weird stuff (i forget exactly) - that and i was fed up with having my work machine in windows. i tried re-installing cygwin packages, and finally reinstalled the cygwin dll itself, although i haven't tried that last one as it required a reboot, and well, the "Linux" option in LILO was too tempting :) a lot of the packages were building though, and seemingly all okay - so there is hope for a cygwin based port. you may even have luck with the win32 port of gtk, but the cygwin X does rootless and has a window manager that uses win32 widgets, so it'd probably interface fine (okay, *look* different - but who cares? gnome stuff looks better anyway). hope that's a starting point for somebody :) On Tue, 2003-11-25 at 01:56, Stewart Smith wrote: > On Tue, 2003-11-25 at 01:33, JT Moree wrote: > > I would love to see a port but since it is built on gnome it requires a > > decently working gnome for Windows.
