Hello there! I am one of those poor souls that are stuck in Windows. The reasons for this are not very important, but I'm here and I have to make do with whatever tools I have.
Fish seems awesome but I saw no mention of a Windows (Cygwin port). I didn't know the difficulty of this task, so I set about to pass the first hurdle - compile Fish in Cygwin. So I went to this page: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/#building and I started installing the required dependencies. This is the final list of package installed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5684738/ - I hope I have everything needed to build Fish. Anyway, I started the process: autoconf - OK ./configure - OK make - NOT OK make install - Didn't even reach this First error I got during make: g++ -g -O2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -fno-exceptions -Wall -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DPREFIX=L\"/usr/local\" -DDATADIR=L\"/usr/local/share\" -DSYSCONFDIR=L\"/usr/local/etc\" -DBINDIR=L\"/usr/local/bin\" -c -o builtin.o builtin.cpp In file included from builtin.cpp:397:0: builtin_set_color.cpp:15:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. <builtin>: recipe for target `builtin.o' failed make: *** [builtin.o] Error 1 Ok, it couldn't find curses.h. Apparently it's not in the include path, so I hacked that: ln -s /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h /usr/include/ and I got this: g++ -g -O2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -fno-exceptions -Wall -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DPREFIX=L\"/usr/local\" -DDATADIR=L\"/usr/local/share\" -DSYSCONFDIR=L\"/usr/local/etc\" -DBINDIR=L\"/usr/local/bin\" -c -o builtin.o builtin.cpp In file included from builtin_set_color.cpp:15:0, from builtin.cpp:397: fallback.h:97:7: error: previous declaration of ‘char* tparm_solaris_kludge(char*, ...)’ with ‘C++’ linkage /usr/include/curses.h:820:63: error: conflicts with new declaration with ‘C’ linkage <builtin>: recipe for target `builtin.o' failed make: *** [builtin.o] Error 1 Looks bad - and I'm stuck here. Here's the gcc -v output - hope it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5684749/ I'm willing to try out various builds and provide any debugging information needed if there's a chance of making Fish run under Cygwin.
