http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29461 Cygwin & path to build file ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-11 08:35 ------- Well, I am currently working with GT3.2, the deprecated one. I finally managed to change the ant wrapper script to convert absolute file paths and made the ant build scripts work. However, I ran into another build problem when compiling some C/C++ code. I searched the web for a hint or solution and discovered what is causing the problem: GT3.2 relies on IPv6 which Cygwin doesn't handle. This problem is slightly harder to fix on the fly, that's why I finally gave up to build GT3.2 on Cygwin. Anyway, at least, I learned some shell scripting and I'm looking forward to do some experiments with GT4. I had time to reconsider my position and would like to undo this bug report (or even feature request) due to the mentioned problems. The Cygwin support as implemented in the wrapper scripts so far should satisfy all programmers who prefer the cygwin shell to the windows cmd.exe. The other side is: programmers who intermingle different approaches for building an application and make a platform-independent tool platform-dependent should probably rethink the organisation of their applications build process. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
