Can't compile poco with Cygwin

[NedbeN]

Hello,

I'am trying to install Poco c++ with Cygwin on Windows XP.

Versions : Poco 1.4.5
make 3.82.90
gcc 4.5.3


I use configure with this option : ./configure --no-tests --no-samples
I compile poco with this command : make -s
During compilation, I have this error :

** Compiling src/NamedEvent.cpp (debug, shared)
In file included from src/NamedEvent.cpp:47:0:
src/NamedEvent_UNIX.cpp: In constructor ‘Poco::NamedEventImpl::NamedEventImpl(const std::string&)’:

Makefile:62: recipe for target `Foundation-libexec' failed
make: *** [Foundation-libexec] Error 2


I can't find help on the net.

Somebody can help me ?

The problem is cygwin detection is too far down in Platform.h and gets swallowed by generic unix ifdef. It was fixed for 1.5.1 :

Code: Select all

#elif defined(__QNX__)
   #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_UNIX 1
   #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_QNX
+#elif defined(__CYGWIN__)
+  #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_UNIX 1
+  #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_CYGWIN
+#elif defined(POCO_VXWORKS)
+  #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_UNIX 1
+  #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_VXWORKS
#elif defined(unix) || defined(__unix) || defined(__unix__)
   #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_UNIX 1
   #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_UNKNOWN_UNIX
...    ...   
#elif defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64)
   #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_WINDOWS 1
   #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_WINDOWS_NT
-#elif defined(__CYGWIN__)   
-  #define POCO_OS_FAMILY_UNIX 1

-#elif defined(POCO_VXWORKS)

-  #define POCO_OS POCO_OS_VXWORKS
#endif

Thank you for your help
