It is 'msys'. I am not attempting to make a package, just to compile
libpano13 from source, together with it's collateral applications.
msys ('minimal system') is an environment to use the minGW tool set,
which is the GNU compilers for Windows, to make a long story short.
The difference to cygwin is that the generated executable will be
genuine Windows and not require the cygwin DLL. Check
www.mingw.org
If you want to find out more. The great thing about it is that you can
often take a source distribution that was made for Linux or UNIX and
run the ./configure - make - make install cycle on it, and come out
with a Windows EXE or DLL ready to run under Windows without any
auxillary software needed. I think initially libpano was meant to be
compiled with minGW, at least that is what's used in the tutorial
http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_pano12_from_sourcecode
which I used to start out on my compilation attempt. From what I have
gleaned so far cmake can use the minGW compilers, it's more a question
of having a suitable CmakeLists.txt. Now I know next to nothing of
cmake, but it seems you do. I just don't know where to start, and I
have already invested yet another half day to wrestle with cmake - it
seems to have a MSVC fixation when I set it onto the libpano sources I
have here and wants to do stuff like call 'cl', and it also thinks
itself inside the hugin source tree, which it is not. If I run ./
configure, it very cleverly determins every conceivable aspect of my
system and environment. How can I use cmake to do the same thing and
then build the targets with the GNU tools?
Keeping compatible with minGW is very desirable, since it's free and
Linux-compatible.
