Cygwin support #69

Closed hashimaziz1 closed 4 years ago

hashimaziz1 commented 4 years ago

I've currently managed to get a Cygwin version working by moving installing the Windows binaries and moving everything into Cygwin's own /bin, /include and /lib folders respectively.

Can I expect to be able to use the tool from Cygwin like this without any problems? Will it support converting HTML form fields to fillable PDF equivalents?

If not, is it possible to get a Cygwin (or alternatively minGW-w64) binary that will, and if so, what steps are needed to do so?

Thank you.

Please look at the downloads -- there's both a MSVC 2015 and MXE (mingw-w64) build available.

As mentioned, I had already downloaded the MSVC version and was asking whether using those binaries in a Cygwin environment would cause any problems with the tool down the line, or whether I can expect everything to work as normal.

@Kaos-Industries I haven't used Cygwin in quite a while, but I think it can use Windows binaries just fine (except if you use a Cygwin-specific path like /cygpath or /tmp).
