Hi, I've been using mutt and offlineimap for sometime in cygwin to make my windows system feel more at home.
What I do miss however from my linux systems is the notmuch mail indexer. (http://notmuchmail.org/) According to the source tarball INSTALL file notmuch depends on four libraries: Xapian, GMime 2.4 or 2.6, Talloc, and zlib. I believe i can get each of these from cygwin packages with the exception of Talloc: Talloc ------ Talloc is a memory-pool allocator used by Notmuch. Talloc is an extremely lightweight and easy-to-use tool for allocating memory in a hierarchical fashion and then freeing it with a single call of the top-level handle. Using it has made development of Notmuch much easier and much less prone to memory leaks. Talloc is available from http://talloc.samba.org/ I have attempted to compile Talloc (to in-turn compile Notmuch) and after a long-running ./configure step i get an error on make which is pasted below: [joe@my_pc talloc-2.1.1]$ make WAF_MAKE=1 PATH=buildtools/bin:../../buildtools/bin:$PATH waf build Waf: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin' [16/18] Linking default/cygpytalloc-util-2.dll /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ltalloc collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Waf: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin' Build failed: -> task failed (err #1): {task: cc_link pytalloc_util_6.o -> cygpytalloc-util-2.dll} Makefile:6: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 1 Any ideas on what might be the issue? Is anyone running notmuch (or talloc) for anything out there?
