Cygwin

Post by alanjstr »

If I recall correctly, Mozilla/Phoenix won't build on cygwin. Is this true? I want to do a cvs build on Windows, but I don't have any other developement tools other than cygwin.

i believe they are in the <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134113">middle of fixing this problem</a>. this looks like it will build on some free windows build tool, not sure whether its the one in cygwin or not abd i dont felll like looking through the whole bug. i assume that phoenix will be able to build as soon as mozilla is able to build with it

I didn't even think to look in Bugzilla. Shame on me

This is a general bug about work I am doing to make mozilla buildable using GCC
in win32 (using the cygwin GCC and using the mingw32 header files and libraries
where needed)


Sigh. Now I'm out of Mozilla votes.
