Sdl on cygwin build issues

Hey everybody,
I sent out an email about a week ago about building SDL on cygwin and
was wondering if anybody has been able to. There are docs on how to,
which I’m implying means it does build on cygwin, but on my cygwin
packages (relatively latest), SDL-1.2.5 and SDL CVS both do not build
correctly. Anybody have any information on this?–

Try the latest CVS. I just committed a patch to work around problems in
Cygwin’s automake.

It seems much better, but I still can’t get a full compile. I think it
might be cygwin’s fault though. On a default install, the compiler
doesn’t work, so I have to go back into setup and reinstall just gcc.
Then it works, but sometimes when running configure I get a bunch of
cygpath error messages and the configure script becomes very confused,
and other times it works great and runs through a couple directories
before claiming that “.la” isn’t an understood library format. Cygwin is
pretty faulty, so I’m not sure if it’s SDL or not.On Sat, 2003-02-01 at 12:37, Sam Lantinga wrote:
