I’m trying to get cvsync running on cygwin
and after looking at the homepage. There didn’t seem to be that many
straightforward instructions nor is there a package in the default
cygwin repository. Bummer.
So I took a shot and tried downloading the tarball and compiling it.
$ wget ftp://ftp.cvsync.org/pub/cvsync/cvsync-0.24.19.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf cvsync-0.24.19.tar.bz
$ cd cvsync-0.24.19
$ make
It blew up on a variable called HASH_TYPE in the makefile. Seems that
cygwin doesn’t have a native hash library to use. Luckily it spit out
that it could use some hash types if fed one on a the command line. After
looking at the choices I decided to use the OpenSSL one. But make sure
to install openssl-devel from cygwin. Or else it won’t compile. After that
the compilation will go fine.
# Make sure the man directory exists or else the install barfs $ mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man1 $ HASH_TYPE=openssl make install make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/someuser/docs/src/cvsync-0.24.19/cvscan' *** Build parameters: CC_TYPE= default CFLAGS_OPTS= LDFLAGS_OPTS= PREFIX= /usr/local ZLIB_PREFIX= USE_INET6= USE_POLL= HASH_TYPE= openssl HASH_PREFIX= /usr/local PTHREAD_TYPE= native PTHREAD_PREFIX= /usr/local SOCKS5_TYPE= SOCKS5_PREFIX= ... *Lots deleted* ...
