Hi Phil,

why do you use Cygwin for your porting? After my experiences a port using mwing64 is also possible. But it doesnt need the cygwin.dll and is more windows-like. I have used MSYS2 with mingw64 for my port and it works well for most parts. At this time my porting efforts have concentrated on the 2.0.7-release and i have only minor remaining issues with my windows version:
- printing is not supported, but i have a plan to do it in the future
- drag'n'drop in the map-view doesnt work
- i have ignored the opencl-stuff because my system doesnt support opencl

You find my port of DT 2.0.7 in :
  https://github.com/jibaer/darktable/tree/darktable-2.0.x-win

There is a document doc/Windows-msys2.txt with instructions how to build it.

Greetings from Berlin, Gemany

Hi
Up front I will say I have read your policy on Windows and totally
agree. I also work on an open source project and supporting many OSs
is tough and usually requires at least a couple of developers willing
to use and test the code as it develops.

So with that in mind you are free to tell me that you cannot help me
with building on Cygwin, however I'm very close to completing the
build and I have made notes on how to get the build running which I am
happy to share If that is useful to you.

In case you can help, my issue is that during the make all step of the
build I am getting this error

Scanning dependencies of target darktable.appdata_file

I presume this is an xml tag that is missing from somewhere, but I
can't work out which file it is missing from to look at fixing it. I'm
not so good with makefiles.

I'm building from the git repo if that helps. Currently at commit
d62c69e36ab428e37df0ae6b57e704bc9178d0b0

Thanks in advance

Phil
