Hi-

Does anyone know if the IDE can install on cygwin? I guess I can try to build it and see what kinds of messages I get. It will tell me if I am missing requirements when I run ./configure I am using cygwin more and more than vbox these days for linux type hobby projects. You can install a ton of stuff on cygwin. I even installed postgresql tonight so I could use a postgres interface to cobol.

Just wondering, anyone try it yet or know of anyone that tried it?

thx. -

Hi-

I checked it out really quick. It complained when I tried the posix and X11 tarball:
./Core/config.h:57:6: error: #error Unknown OS
#error Unknown OS

and ...

./Core/Core.h:218:2: error: expected identifier before numeric constant
TCP_NODELAY = 1,

I don't know how hard those are to fix. I find that guncobol uses mingw officially too. I don't know in this case to use windows/tdm or try to also use mingw. I guess it depends.

Hi-

Unless there is a really easy trick for U++ gurus to fix that, I will go with mingw as I see that listed on the download page. It won't kill me to learn both.

I did notice that mingw options are in the packages in cygwin. I am not sure though that it will eliminate the unknown OS msg just because I change a compiler. I doubt it. I probably need msys instead of switching compilers in cygwin.

I am unsure how long it will take to learn the mingw compiler options. Probably not too bad. I am not a guru on gcc, so it can't be that much of a learning curve anyway.

Have a cool end of Jan.

thx.-

HI-

OOps... I didn't realize but I can still use gcc with mingw. NICE.

thx.-
