Having fixed a minor issue, Cygwin is now chugging through trying to autobuild the firefox2 package. It's clearly not going to complete before I go to bed ;-)
In any case, the tedium of actually building the compiler itself was too much for me, and I used binaries that Alan supplied. For now, I'm not so worried about that, but any improvements in having others build it might be good if someone needs to rebuild UnixLib, etc. My setup is pretty straight forward - I installed all the packages that are mentioned on the Wiki, along with the additional X11 one I mentioned earlier. I don't have any old versions of packages, although I did install the unsupported autogen to try and build it earlier. I additionally have a /usr/bin/autoconf2.61 symlink to /usr/local/bin/autoconf (could go in /home/riscos/env/ too) and also ran ./install-env from our gcc4 sources. I suspect in practice that the firefox2 package checks will fail, and I'll need to install some extra stuff, but that's minor. I will additionally ensure that gnash can build. I don't plan to try anything else unless someone has an explicit problem with a package that doesn't build under Cygwin, since it's so much slower, and with Alan's dependency handling, there shouldn't be too much that hasn't already been taken care of that won't also be relevant to Linux. My intention in both the x86 Linux (my normal platform is actually AMD64) and Cygwin cases is to provide prebuilt toolchains (and if someone else is keen, Mac OS X). These can easily be scripted to a couple of commands to download and set themselves up and run a sample build. Is there a command line package install command for Cygwin? Any questions?
