Astrometry.net on Cygwin

cygport file for astrometry.net, patched to point at Python 3.7 (as well as its dependency, astropy).

Building

• Install Cygwin.
• In the Cygwin shell, install dependencies (substituting in the path to Cygwin's setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe):

  /path/to/setup-x86.exe -P cygport -P gcc-core -P libcairo-devel -P libcfitsio-devel -P libjpeg-devel -P libnetpbm-devel -P libpng-devel -P make -P python37-devel -P python37-numpy -P python37-pip -P python37-wheel -P swig

• Close and re-open the Cygwin shell (to ensure changes to your $PATH are reflected).
• Download sources and build packages:

  cygport python37-astropy.cygport download all
  cygport astrometry.net.cygport download all

Installing (for testing)

(See the Cygwin Package Server docs for more info.)

• Follow the build instructions above.
• Install extra deps:

  /path/to/setup-x86.exe -P calm

• Create a package directory tree in cygwin-packages (setting ARCH to x86_64 if applicable):

  ARCH=x86
  ARCH_DIR=cygwin-packages/$ARCH
  mkdir -p $ARCH_DIR/release
  cp -r */dist/{python37-astropy,astrometry.net} $ARCH_DIR/release/
  mksetupini --arch $ARCH --inifile $ARCH_DIR/setup.ini --releasearea cygwin-packages --disable-check missing-depended-package,missing-required-package
  xz -6e < $ARCH_DIR/setup.ini > $ARCH_DIR/setup.xz
  bzip2 < $ARCH_DIR/setup.ini > $ARCH_DIR/setup.bz2

• Install astrometry.net from the directory tree (making sure to also select a mirror when prompted, so dependencies can be downloaded too):

  /path/to/setup-x86.exe -P astrometry.net -X -s file:///C:/path/to/cygwin-packages
