Configure error on 64-bit Cygwin

[thorstenkampe]

What can I do about the following error? Can I disable a feature or a package?

checking termios.h usability... yes
checking termios.h presence... yes
checking for termios.h... yes
checking whether IUCLC is declared... yes
checking whether TCGETS is declared... no
checking whether TIOCGETA is declared... no
configure: error: TCGETS and TIOCGETA are not available

[sebastinas]

If you don't have TCGETS and TIOCGETA available, you can try to build yafc against OpenSSL.

configure succeeded after installing the devel packages for libssh, openssl and readline. Unfortunately make now fails:

Which version of readline is this? Looks like #38 again.

[thorstenkampe]

libreadline-devel 6.2-1

[thorstenkampe]

The readline patch fixes the readline issue. Further during compilation I get:

src/ftp/socket.c: In Funktion »sock_clearerr_in«:
src/ftp/socket.c:195:33: Fehler: dem Makro »clearerr« wurden 2 Argumente übergeben, aber es nimmt nur 1
     sockp->clearerr(sockp, false);
                                 ^
src/ftp/socket.c: In Funktion »sock_clearerr_out«:

     sockp->clearerr(sockp, true);
                                ^

The error means that the macro was called with two arguments but it only accepts one.

Does 1361111 help?

[thorstenkampe]

Yes, compilation works fine now. Unfortunately, make install-strip results in

make[4]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/f/yafc-1.3.4'
 /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin'
  /bin/sh /home/thorsten/install-sh -c -s yafc.exe '/usr/local/bin'

make install works fine, though.

The path to install-sh looks weird. ./autogen.sh should get you a copy of install-sh in /cygdrive/f/yafc-1.3.4/support. There is also a copy of install-sh in the tarball in the same location. I wonder where the path is coming from.

[thorstenkampe]

I'd consider this solved. It would be great if the requirements for Cygwin would find their way into the documentation and the patches their way into a new release.

By the way: how can I "patch" my local source directory with the updates from GitHub? I downloaded the ZIP file but there was no configure script. So I had to do all the patching manually.

[sebastinas]

If you have glib, automake and autoconf installed, you can just run ./autogen.sh from the git checkout to get configure and friends.

[thorstenkampe]

...and pkg-config...
