Greetings Cygwin community, I'd like to share a few observations/issues I'm encountering when installing GDL (a freeware version of IDL) in Cygwin on a Windows XP laptop.
1) When I configure GDL and attempt to set the ImageMagick path to /usr/bin/include or /usr/bin configure comes back and indicates it cannot find the path. I have ImageMagick installed however. Should I point to the binaries or the libraries for ImageMagick? 2) GDL looked for the 'fenv.h' file. As discussed before this may not exist in Cygwin. I tried a fix and copied the 'fenv.h' (and one related include) from 'mingw' into /usr/bin/include. The configure appeared to accept it. Is this a reasonable solution? 3) When running 'make' I presently get this message. It may related to the 'sunrpc' installation from Cygwin. make[3]: Entering directory `/home/Steven Albers/gdl/gdl-0.9rc1/src' g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/home/Steven_Albers/build_plplot/include -g -O2 -MT gdl-datatypes.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/gdl-datatypes.Tpo -c -o gdl-datatypes.o `test -f 'datatypes.cpp' || echo './'`datatypes.cpp In file included from datatypes.cpp:63: default_io.cpp: In function `int xdr_convert(XDR*, DInt*)': /usr/include/rpc/xdr.h:229: error: too many arguments to function `int xdr_short()' default_io.cpp:1222: error: at this point in file default_io.cpp: In function `int xdr_convert(XDR*, DUInt*)': /usr/include/rpc/xdr.h:230: error: too many arguments to function `int xdr_u_short()' default_io.cpp:1227: error: at this point in file default_io.cpp: In function `int xdr_convert(XDR*, DLong*)': /usr/include/rpc/xdr.h:227: error: too many arguments to function `int xdr_long()' default_io.cpp:1232: error: at this point in file default_io.cpp: In function `int xdr_convert(XDR*, DULong*)': /usr/include/rpc/xdr.h:228: error: too many arguments to function `int xdr_u_long()' default_io.cpp:1237: error: at this point in file Any comments or suggestions about these items would be much appreciated.
