General :: Compiling Library In Cygwin To Be Linked With VC++
May 21, 2010
I'm interested in modding an open-source turn based game called Advanced Strategic Command or ASC, but to do that I need bunch of libraries. Installing those libraries is very easy in linux, I know but the thing is I'm working with windows in which the building of the libraries is a bit more complex, as you probably know. One of those libraries is the ligsigc++, I'm using VC++ but haven't been successful in building the libsigc++ in VC++. I considered making my life easier with Cygwin (a unix shell for windows) and simply executing ./Configure, Make. I's worked like a charm and the library dll it produced is named cygsigc-2.0-0.dll which made me wonder is compiling a library in cygwin to be linked with VC++ perfectly ok? That is is there any difference in compiling in cygwin and VC++?

New to this kernel stuff But not too new to C/C++. I'm trying to compile the linux kernel on a PC, that is running Windows XP 32 bit, using Cygwin. I keep getting the error saying:
Error: Not ELF
make[2]:*** [scripts/mod/elfconfig.h] Error 1
make[1]:*** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make:***[scripts] Error 2
Every time I try to compile it from the main directory of the source, which I hope is what I'm supposed to do, I always get this.

Libraries have always been ambiguous to me. I would love to have a clear understanding of them. Here's what I know so far... Ok I know that libraries are a bunch of functions and definitions in C that binaries use. I also understand that static libraries are used by the binaries in /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin and dynamically linked libraries are used by the binaries in /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin So why have statically linked and dynamically linked libraries? I know that dynamically linked libraries are used to save space. Otherwise each binary would need its own private copy of a library. So dynamically libraries are used to save space.
1. Where are the static libraries and the dynamically linked libraries located in the file structure?
2. Where does ldconfig fit into all of this?
3. Would a rootkit affect both statically and dynamically linked libraries? I would think yes unless the libraries only have read permissions.
4. If the above is true, is there any reason for your libraries to have write permission other than when you want to edit them?

Given the code below:
<<snip>>
jlfdiaz@narcea:/tmp$ cat foo1.c
int foo1() {}
jlfdiaz@narcea:/tmp$ gcc -c -o foo1.o foo1.c
[code]....
Is possible to know with "nm", "ldd", "ar" or other unix similar command that executable "a.out" is statically linked with "libfoo1.a".

I've got a shared (Windows/multiuser Linux) laptop, and I've got installed World of Warcraft and some steam games in Windows. With steam games, there is (almost) no problems. I've installed steam in Linux, and soft linked the 'steamapps' directory (per-game compatibility is another issue). With WoW, the problem is different. I would like to have almost (but not) all files. Under World of Warcraft, every file and directory must be linked except the Interface directory and WTF/config.wtf file (so every user can play with their own settings and addons). How can I have a mix of linked and not linked files without linking every file? If I link manually every file/dir, when updating from Linux other users and Windows Wow is not updated; when updating from Windows, new files remains "unlinked".

I was wondering if there is an argument I can pass to the configuration file to have it use a library from a non-standard path to compile with - for example I would like it to use my perl located in /scratchbox/users/jeff91/usr/bin/perl instead of the standard /usr/bin/perl

I'm trying to learn how to cross-compile libraries (static and shared) and executables for the Blackfin + uClinux environment.At this point, I can successfully compile a stand-alone "Hello, world" but fail when trying to add a (static) library to the mix.Here's the source code I wrote:
Code:
#========== bar.h
void mytestfunc(void);
#========== bar.c
#include <stdio.h>
[code]...
Googling for this returns talks about "name mangling", but I don't know if this is what it is, and how to change the source/command to solve it.

I am trying to use the QT4 frontend of poppler library in my application so I need to compile the library.In its main directory ./configure can be run but I got
Code:
checking which font configuration to use... fontconfig
checking for FONTCONFIG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (fontconfig >= 2.0.0) were not met:
No package 'fontconfig' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS
and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I have fontconfig installed (ubuntu):
2.8.0-2.1ubuntu3 (fontconfig)
However I have no idea where those flags are and what to set them to.

I have tried to compile several programs from source code and have into a similar error in each case. I try make the program and I get an error like: fail program confsdefs.h. Reading further into the log file, I see there is a long list of missing library files when I compile something like Samba 3.5.x:
[Code]...
I have searched for dependency information and used apt-get to add anything I can find. How can I identify and find the dependencies for source? I have checked the source documentation though typically does not list required packages. My other question is how to check the path used to locate the libraries? Given the length of the missing library list, I think the problem may be configuring make.

Then I write 2 program to test this library: test_swap.c and test_swap.cpp

What's wrong with this in C++? And how can I make a library that can work both for any C and C++ program?
Here the source code

I have a program that is completed under Linux, it requires library tidy, PCRE and libcurl, which could be found in Cygwin too.
I could compile my linux program through Cygwin and produce an EXE file, however it do require 'cygwin.dll' installed by the users.
I am wondering if I could have someway to produce out a stand-alone EXE file that could run independently from Cygwin ? ( I don't mind to combine that cygwin.dll and the EXE together for a larger EXE file).

I can't seem to find a way to do this, so maybe it's not actually possible, but I was wondering if there was a way to list all files that link to a file.
For example.
touch a
ln a b
ln a c
I want to find out what files link to a (not symlinks, mind you), assuming that this is more complicated (they are spread around to different directories).
I kind of understand about the filesystem storing links in one area and data in another, so I understand it probably takes more work to find a link from a file location than the other way around.

I installed the CUnit framework which is a .tar.gz file from the bash shell in cygwin.
make gives me an error saying:
make install works
make clean works
I am not able to compile but install works I do not know if it is installed and as to where it is installed
when i checked it gives me a list of header files and also the lib files. I do not know as to why the make command is not working in cygwin. When i go to the bin directory it shows the make command.

But I just downloaded cygwin to my xp machine. Tried my first experimental script and created it one level directly below where cygwin put me by default. The script, named show two says:
#!/bin/bash
echo $1
echo $2
But bash apparently can't find it. The name of the script is showtwo, but I also tried naming it showtwo.sh; no dice.

Based on previous forum discussions, I tried to install cygwin with 'make' installed from develop during installation. I can even see 'make.exe' in bin folder, but still while running the make command, it still shows error.
I was confused in one other part. Should I put the bin folder in some specific location or just wherever it is placed during cygwin installation? I was running VIC model, do I need to place the bin folder inside VIC source code folder.

I recently installed Cygwin on my windows vista to practice on Linuxunix commands.I am unable to do a simple task of declaring variables on the command prompt I am trying:
$ vech=Bus
$ echo $vech
bash: vech : command not found
What am I missing? Do i need to add something to .bashrc? Also, I remember right click on the shell command gives the ability to copy or paste text from the shell. I am using Bash, how do I copy n paste text on shell window?
