Hi All.
Has anybody managed to compile the
SDL group of libraries (or any 
to
be a native cygwin application (ie,
don’t use -mno-cygwin)? So it acts as
if it were running on a native linux
box? Cygwin now has an X server
(XFree86 itself) so it would be great
if we could do this.
Many thanks,
J.
One small problem… Cygwin is dog slow.On Mon, Jul 22, 2002 at 07:40:38PM +0100, John Morrison wrote:

That may be your experience, todate it hasn’t been
mine. However, I can’t get SDL to compile as a
native cygwin app so I don’t feel able to comment.
I’m not asking for any functionality to be
removed, just make it possible to compile SDL
under cygwin as if it were a native, linux, OS.
I wouldn’t have thought it was that much effort.
If something works in a native linux OS which
doesn’t under Cygwin I’m sure folk’s will fix it.

Go for it. It works for me, using the instructions here:
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cygwin/README.txt
If it doesn’t work for you, go ahead and submit updates.

Thanks for a more constructive reply. Following the
instructions I can get SDL to compile (I never did say
I couldn’t). However, it is just using cygwin, gcc and
mingw to compile a win32 native application (hense the
lines containing the -mno-cygwin switch). Not a cygwin
native application.
I wanted to know if anyone had compiled it as a native
cygwin app. From the lack of responses, I take it as a
no.
I’ll try and find time to add this functionality, but
most of my time is devoted to apache tasks.
Thanks again,
J.
I got it once compiling and running,
wasn’t easy though (lot if libtool
hacking IIRC). So its possible

Would it be possible for me to ask
questions if I get stuck?
Thanks,

PS, at the risk of being cheeky, was there
a good reason for not patching the source
to work this way once you got it running?On Wed, 24 Jul 2002, Stephan Goetter wrote:
