[E-devel] Compile efl/elementary under Cygwin

2014-12-17 Thread Galatsanos Panagiotis
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to compile efl and elementary using Cygwin but i'm getting some
errors about directdraw on ./configure. I've allready installed every
library listed in README and I run:
./configure --enable-lua-old --disable-fribidi

only to get the following error:

configure: error: Software DirectDraw dependencies not found

I'm also attaching the whole configure output. Any suggestions?

the README .. unfortunately.. doesn't help you with windows much. it's more a
bit of blank magic. you need directdraw development stuff for the windows build
- you need to find it i guess. :)

I don't know anything about Cygwin, but if you use msys2 on windows
there is everything you need to build EFL and Elementary, you can
install packages with pacman.

Another option is to use http://win-builds.org/ to install most of the
dependencies need to build EFL.

Mingw64 contains DirectDraw dependencies need to build the win32 port of EFL.

A better documentation is currently in progress.

Nicolas

Re: [E-devel] Compile efl/elementary under Cygwin

2014-12-18 Thread Chris Marshall
I recently attempted to build EFL on cygwin and ran into
the same difficulty.  The problem is that the cmake
configuration process for cygwin tries to build a native
win32 library and not a POSIX system one which is
what the cygwin emulation layer provides.  cygwin
supports X11, GLX, ... all the usual unix libraries so
it should be possible to configure cygwin as a posix
build basically the same as other unix-ish systems.

efl buld doesn't do that though - we detect being on win32 etc. and try and
build windows native dll's. we have no option to alter this.

Right, since the build process isn't treating cygwin as a posix/unix system
it looks underneath the cygwin posix and discovers win32 and tried to
build a native windows version.  While it is possible to have this work out,
it often fails because of the difference between the win32 and posix
universes.
