Cygwin help

Post by ONEEYEMAN »

Him,
MSVC user here ;-)
I am trying to install Cygwin alone with MinGW to check why my PR fails.

I have Windows 10 inside VM and installing Cygwin (64-bit, I guess).

What packages do I need in order to build and run wxWidgets application?

In the list I see only MinGW64, but the Git builds is using MinGW32. I don't think it matters much as the code generated should be the same (hopefully).

Could someone please help.

TIA!

Are you sure you need Cygwin? Or is it just about MinGW? (In which case you don't need Cygwin)
Use the source, Luke!

doublemax,
I believe the MSVC cross-build that fails ran inside Cygwin. (ref. https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/ ... 3671319426).

It uses configure script and the "/" symbol, not "\".

Thank you.

I don't know if this 10+ year old post from Vadim is still relevant, but maybe it helps:
