The Cygwin port is being resurrected, and there is good work afoot. What we now need is (among other things) an update to the prereq spkg so that we can think about closing #6743.
We need to somehow check for the following things on Cygwin: * `file` * `patch` * `liblapack`, `liblapack0`, `liblapack-devel` * `libiconv`, `openssl`, `openssl-devel` * `libgc-devel` * `zlib-devel` * `libncurses-devel` * `make`, `perl`, `m4` * `gcc4-x.y.z` and `g++-x.y.z`, `fortran`; the versions '''must''' match A lot! But how does one go about doing this? I assume that it should happen in `prereq-1.x-install` and not the configure, but I don't know a lot about these things. Is it sufficient to do if [ -a "/standard/path/to/Cygwin/lib/or/program.dll" ] ; then with a whole bunch of "ands"? Or is there some better way to do this? I'm already imagining regex horrors for making sure the compiler versions match... and it does seem like an awful lot to do in the prereq script, but maybe that's better than elsewhere. Thanks!
