Hello,
I'm new with cygwin and hope my question is not off topic. I try to
port a C++ framwork to Windows. The framework uses Atlas and LAPack,
libxml (with libiconv and zlib) and GiNaC with CLN. Some libs like zlib
can I build with the Visual Studio nmake command, but other can be
build with configure, make, make install only.
I have setup the Cygwin.bat with Visual Studio (the Atlas developer
describe this on http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/errata.html#WinComp)
but do I understand it in a correct way, that after setting the
environmental variables, I can use the VS compiler under Cygwin? I have
installed the gcc, g++, gfortran and make tools under Cygwin and can
compile my libraries, but the configure script determine the ld linker.
If I have compiled a library under cygwin, can I link the binary in
Visual Studio?
Thanks
If you want to link gnu compiled objects under Visual Studio, the mingw
cross compilers would be more suitable than the cygwin compiler. This
quickly gets off topic. If you want to use standard Makefiles, gnu
make (including, but not restricted to, the cygwin one) is a better bet
than nmake. There's no law against using mingw or even CL with gnu
make.
Thanks for your great answer. I have seen that I can install the mingw
toolset under Cygwin, because I need the configure process before
running make. If I install the mingw tools, run my configure script and
than make, can I create my binaries with this steps or is another way a
better solution?
Thanks
Phil
