Hi Jan I use cygwin basically because I have it! I think when I started using cygwin, msys was a bit more complex or less well documented or I have a feeling there were two competing 64 bit implementations or something. So the reason is only historical for me really, but I'm happy with it and saw no reason to change. The thing that will probably make me move is the new windows subsystem for linux. Once that is fully supported with an X server I guess it will make both cygwing and lays defunct.
With the changes I made (hacky or not) I got the build to work, but when I try to run I receive an error saying cygdarktable.dll cannot be found. This library is in /usr/local/bin/darktable/. Not sure how much further this is worth me taking. I will have a look at your branch Jan and see how it builds. Thanks for the update. Oh and greetings from Wakefield, UK 😊 Phil From: Jan Ingwer Baer Sent: 06 November 2016 13:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [darktable-dev] Cygwin 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.
