this was discussed not too long ago on the cygwin mailing list. The
following procedure seems to work (courtesy Lars Wuerfel
<lw...@computerwuerfel.de>):
TThanks for that - most useful. Some comments...
Step 2:
I outcommented lines 12, 24, 29 and 36
...but he doesnt say which file. It's net.c for thoise trying this
themselves. I also found I needed to uncomment 25 as well, as Cygwin
does not have in_systm.h
/cygwin/usr/include/string.h:
[52] #ifndef __STRICT_ANSI__
[53] // char *_EXFUN(strtok_r,(char *, const char *, char **));
This is line 51 in recent versions of Cygwin - whatever you have
its always the strtok line inside the __STRICT_ANSI section that
needs removing.
I solved this by including <errno.h> into
the undefined refferences to errno are an annoyance in Cygwin - I could
ot work out which file to put errno.h in to get it to work, and instead
deefined an int for it in each program. errno should be in libc as far
as I know, but appears not to be on Cygwin. So you need to define it
somewhere yourself. I think that the mySQL library is not really the
appropriate place for this, so I made a separet entry in my own code
library for this - which is a lot tidier.
Aside from this everything sems to work perfectly, thanks.
