Re: [racket-dev] cgywin build working? Which line endings?
I would suggest being sure the code you are trying to compile under cygwin, builds under straight Linux first. I tried building Racket under cygwin end of Nov./Dec. unsuccessfully. In #racket they told me I was on my own.So I switched to straight Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) and in the end got just the text version from a development build the end of Dec. to build/work, which was enough for me. From the forums I think the problems with building all of Racket under Linux have been fixed, but I haven't had time nor need to try it out again. Assuming your student gets the Racket cygwin build to work - Please post anything special you have do. I expect to get back to this in Feb. _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
[racket-dev] cgywin build working? Which line endings?
I have a student who's trying to compile DrRacket for Windows using cygwin, and I have two questions: 1) Is using cygwin to build from source expected to work? 2) It looks like the cygwin build expects UNIX-style line endings, is that correct?

I dont remember exactly what went wrong, but I think the problem might have been with my cygwin install. I think it's expected to work. Here is a paragraph from the README file: It's expected to work, but it's been buggy for a while. Last time I tried was around four months ago or so. One thing to be careful about that's not mentioned in the documentation: the absolute path containing your source tree must not have any spaces. _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
