Hi,
i've been messing around with jabber and cygwin, and stubbornly refuse to go
the linux route (mainly because i don't have a linux box i can dedicate and
running vmware is just plain sloooow).
I've noticed people are having problems compiling transports and other
components of jabber under cygwin, and i ran into these too. in particular,
lots of people getting a ton of "undefined references to XXX" i came up
with a temporary solution and I'm posting it here for archival purposes:
Note that these have only been tested with
jabber 1.4.2
aim-transport 0.9.25 (CVS)
jud - 0.4
cygwin 1.3.10-1
gcc 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)
pth 1.4.1
- The main problem is, I think, that cygwin's gcc can't find the *.o's in
the directories specified with -L ... i don't know why. if anyone does
please enlighten me.
Compiling AIM
* Decompress and read the README file
* Run ./autogen.sh to build the makefiles
* open src/Makefile
* add this variable to the Makefile
jabberd_EXOBJECTS = ../../jabberd/lib/xml*.o \
../../jabberd/lib/hashtable.o \
../../jabberd/lib/pool.o \
../../jabberd/lib/xstream.o \
../../jabberd/lib/str.o \
../../jabberd/lib/expat.o \
../../jabberd/lib/snprintf.o \
../../jabberd/lib/genhash.o \
../../jabberd/lib/xhash.o \
../../jabberd/jabberd.a
* go to the aimtrans.so$(EXEEXT) target and append to the line that
starts with $(LINK) the variable. It should read like this:
$(LINK) $(aimtrans_so_LDFLAGS) $(aimtrans_so_OBJECTS) \
$(aimtrans_so_LDADD) $(LIBS) $(jabberd_EXOBJECTS)
minus the "\", that's just to break the line.
* now go up one directory, to aim-transport. And run "make"
* I renamed my output file (which is in src) from aimtrans.so.exe to
aimtrans.so
* follow the instructions in the README file for installing the
transport into jabberd.
Also, i could not find the AIM binary 3.5.1670 so i downloaded the latest
(4.8.2790) and used it as by aimbinarydir and it works fine :)
Compiling the JUD
* Read the README!!! run ./configure
* Open the Makefile
* add the jabberd_EXOBJECTS specified above to this Makefile
* go to the jud target and add the jabberd_EXOBJECTS variable between
$(jud_OBJECTS) and $(LDFLAGS). It should end up like this:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(MCFLAGS) -o jud.so \
$(jud_OBJECTS) $(jabberd_EXOBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS) -lpth
* append -lpth to that line too (notice it's already there). This links
to the pthreads library which you should have already installed.
PThreads 1.4.1
* I had originally had some problems compiling the pthreads source.
This was due to the fact that I specified use "unix" linebreaks during my
cygwin setup. I changed it to DOS. compiled, then changed it back to UNIX.
if anyone has more experience with Make and cygwin and can include these
changes when running configure, please do so. it would help out a ton! :)
thanks.
