Problem compiling Qt4

Hello, I have been trying to use Qt4 in the PLplot project as one of the graphical devices, but I ran into two problems building Qt4: - While compiling the libraries, it turned out that the constant QT_OPEN_LARGEFILE' was not defined. I could solve this by adding a definition in the file

Problem with fonts and pango

Hello, I am trying to build and test the PLplot libraries and examples (see SourrceForge) on Cygwin with the cairo and pango libraries. While the build succeeds if I exclude the ordinary Windows features (the routine cairo_win32_surface_create is missing from the cairo libraries), I get warnings

Problem with cairo - missing routine

Hello, I am trying to build and test the PLplot libraries and examples on Cygwin with the cairo and pango libraries. The build fails because there is no routine cairo_win32_surface_create in the cairo libraries. All manner of other surface creation routines are present. How can this be solved?

Failure with fork()

Hello, the bug I am reporting here on behalf of Alan Irwin surfaced in the combination wine and Cygwin (Alan summarised it here: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2013-June/100328.html). It has to do with the way Cygwin handles forks. The bug can be illustrated with this small program:

Re: Failure with fork()

According to the original thread it has to do with handling the stack. The small program is meant to show that there is a discrepancy between the way Cygwin handles this versus the way Linux does that - something to do with accessing more memory pages than expected, but this is not an area I am

Problems with file permissions during a build

Hello, I have been experiencing problems with building several unrelated projects on Cygwin/Windows 7. One of them is GCC 4.8.1, another is a project that uses CMake to create the Makefiles. The problems occur either during the configuration (the CMake-based project) or during the make itself

Re: Problems with file permissions during a build

Hi Corinna, you seem to have hit the right spot. The parent directories had the permission -- according to Cygwin, but I could still enter them via cd. Things go wrong if under Cygwin a file gets _copied_ via cp or something similar that takes the file permissions according to POSIX from the
