I have a project I'm trying to build using mingw and it's missing some posix dependencies:
http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/
Since I don't want to spend the effort porting the sourcecode, I found a library that seems to promise to provide some of the missing posix dependencies:
http://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/
More specifically
http://git.enlightenment.org/legacy/evil.git (Evil library in efl core)
I am trying to build this library with cygwin, but hitting all sorts of roadblocks with autoconf
Has anyone ever built this library? I really just need the posix dependencies, any idea if i can just download them from somewhere reliable? I just want to get this damn thing to compile...
Update
I figured out enough autoconf stuff enough to get to this point
$ sh ./configure
checking for g++... g++
checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.exe
checking for suffix of executables... .exe
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/home/me/legacyevil/evil':
configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
Using /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-g++.exe
Running ./configure --host=windows I got to
configure: creating ./config.status config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
When I run automake I get
configure.ac: error: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal)
