Missing /include/sys/stropts.h?
I am trying to compile SWI-Prolog under CygWin and am receiving a
message that stropts.h is missing from /include/sys. I checked and
there is no such file there or in any directory off of root or in the
CVS source tree. I placed a bug report with SWI-Prolog and received the
following response:
Hmm. This is part of the code to attach an xterm window to
a background thread for the multi-threaded version, which is
supposed to work if grantpt() exists (indicating there is
support for pseudo terminals) and multi-threading support.
[rest of bug response removed...]
I can see from the configure script that grantpt() exists...
Should the file stropts.h exist on CygWin? If not - could I copy it
from a Unix system (such as a MAC BSD (OS X)) and put it in CygWin?
Here is my cygcheck -s -v -r:

-Original Message- From: cygwin-owner On Behalf Of Shawn Legrand Sent: 12 March 2004 16:08 Should the file stropts.h exist on CygWin? You already answered that one yourself: I checked and there is no such file there or in any directory off of root or in the CVS source tree. Anyway, you also asked: If not - could I copy it from a Unix system (such as a MAC BSD (OS X)) and put it in CygWin? That kind of game almost never works. Sure, the initial compilation will succeed, or at least it won't error out with a missing file, but since whatever library functions or OS features the header file describes don't actually exist on your system, it isn't going to help any: it'll probably all fall apart at the final link stage. BTW and FYI, here's the generic recipe for figuring out the answer to these sorts of question: stropts.h (a moment's googling shows me) is related to POSIX streams functionality. By searching for the keyword streams in the Posix spec at http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/nframe.html I found a few of the functions involved were fattach, fdetach, putmsg, putpmsg. By searching in the cygwin api reference at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html I couldn't find any of those functions. So my deduction is that the POSIX streams functionality isn't implemented by cygwin and therefore it's no surprise the header isn't there. This also means that the program you are trying to compile depends on OS functionality that cygwin doesn't provide, and so porting it to cygwin will never be a simple configure'n'make. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
