I tried to build libgit2 so I could try to build gitg but encounteredundefined reference to `qsort_r' GitHub has a closed issue for this https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/1606 saying that qsort_r was added to glibc in version 2.8, released in 2008. Since libc in Cygwin is part of the base package, how would I find out which upstream version it's based on?
Cygwin uses newlib for its C library. From what I can see, qsort is there but qsort_r isn't.
There was a commit in libgit2 that was supposed to fix this : https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/commit/0d77647adc1f76df66e437e6442d7f7706e2c38e#diff-bb2cd4651768482b99cb1c52d29ceffdR694 but I don't know enough about Cygwin internals to determine why it still fails on Cygwin.
The problem with that patch is that it doesn't take Cygwin into account. If you append a check for Cygwin there as well (i.e. defined(__CYGWIN__) ) then that should resolve the compile issue. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
