I'm working on fixing up the current version of Glib to build on Cygwin. I've taken the current CVS and some older patches and reworked them. These have now been incorporated, and it is now possible to check out and build Glib on Cygwin. An "autotooled" copy of the source (probably the same as yesterday's glib 2.4.1 release) is available here: http://www.whinlatter.uklinux.net/gtk/glib.tar.bz2 If you build like this: ./configure -C --prefix=/usr --enable-threads --with-libiconv --enable-shared --disable-static make make check you'll see that it builds fine, but one check (tests/child-test) fails. The bug report for this failure is here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138425 I'm afraid I know too little about Windows (and Cygwin) internals to be able to debug this one, so I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer in fixing it. Threading is deliberately disabled for cygwin targets, even with --enable-threads. since I couldn't get it working. Is POSIX threading possible with cygwin, or broken? Once Glib is installed, it's possible to build Pango. I've provided a slightly-patched copy here: http://www.whinlatter.uklinux.net/gtk/pango.tar.bz2 I can't get the X11-related modules to link. If you build with ./configure --prefix=/usr make you'll see it fail with undefined symbols during linking. I've not been able to get it to link. This might be a libtool bug, but I'm not experienced enough with DLLs to know the finer points about linking. I've added -no-undefined, but it seems to "lose" the library dependencies during linking. The same command works on GNU/Linux. The problem possibly this line in pango/Makefile.am: libpangox_1_0_la_LIBADD = libpango-$(PANGO_API_VERSION).la $(INCLUDED_X_MODULES) $(X_LIBS) $(X_EXTRA_LIBS) This tries to link with libpango-$(VER).la, but while it links libpango-$(VER).dll.a correctly, it doesn't include any of the libraries this was linked against! I'm quite convinced this is libtool rather than Pango at issue. Can anyone comment on this? (I'd provide the error messages, but I can't see a "script" equivalent for Cygwin.)
