current mutt on Cygwin fails to compile.
Greetings,
mutt cannot currently be compiled on Cygwin (1.5), as it uses
unimplemented functions in a handful of places, namely fputws, fgetws,
ungetwc [1]. It appears as though Cygwin 1.7 test versions implement these
[2], however, 1.7 is not supposed to be used in production.
Reverting to the changeset shown below allows me to build mutt on Cygwin.
changeset: 5479:95a11c7f677d
branch: HEAD
user: Vincent Lefevre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx>
date: Mon Aug 18 13:08:43 2008 -0700
summary: Updated French translation.
So what's the view on Cygwin portability of mutt? Ignore? Wait for Cygwin
to provide interfaces? Implement portability later?
Thanks & best regards
MA
