Re: [iiwusynth-devel] iiwusynth / windows / cygwin or mingw build

[Peter Hanappe]

Hi Peter,

I haven't tried compiling on cygwin or mingw, yet. I have a crappy old
windows machine with cygwin installed so I could give it a try. The
problem is always the same, lack of time. Can you send me your
changes to configure? I'm afraid that with cygwin it's non trivial
to link against the windows libraries since they're in a different
format. There is a workaround but I've never been able to make it
work. I believe the chances of compiling/linking successfully with mingw
are higher than with cygwin. Anyway, it'd be good to have a free
alternative to MSVC++.

Thanks,
P
