-To use cygwin for building TEA extensions, there are a couple of things
-you will need to do.
-
-USING MICROSOFT VISUAL C++:
-
-1. Make sure you have a working Visual C++ (version 5.0 or later) compiler.
-
-2. Download and install the free Cygnus Cywgin full tools package from
- http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
-
-3. Ensure your environment variable "MAKE_MODE" has the value "unix"
- This will set up the "make" program to operate in a more sane manner.
-
-4. Run vcvars32.bat. You must do this every time you wish to
- perform a build of an extension. It is strongly recommended
- that you modify your sytem environment so that you don't have to
- run vcvars32.bat all the time. If you look in the vcvars32.bat
- file you will see what system environment variables need to be
- set in order to make this work.
-
-5. If you are authoring a TEA extension, you will also want the GNU
- autoconf package. This can be obtained from http://www.gnu.org
- Autoconf version 2.13 or later is required.
-
-USING CYGWIN (gcc)
-
-1. At this time, cygwin gcc is not supported due to compatibility issues
- that have not been resolved. Use mingw gcc instead.
-
-USING MINGW32 (gcc)
-
-1. Download and install the free Cygnus Cywgin full tools package from
- http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
-
-2. Download and install the mingw compiler:
-
- The 1.1 version you can find at mingw's site will NOT work with Tcl,
- you'd better use:
-
-ftp://ftp.nanotech.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/snapshots/gcc-2.95.2-1/
-
- Files: mingw-msvcrt-20000203.zip
- binutils-19990818-1-msvcrt.zip
- gcc-2.95.2-1-msvcrt.zip
-
- Extract the contents of these zip files into /usr/local/mingw and
- place /usr/local/mingw/bin at the front of your PATH env var.
-
-3. Download and install Tcl
-
-4. To compile the sample extension:
-
- CC=gcc ./configure
- make
- make install
