Hello, I'm using latest Cygwin on WinXP and have managed to compile PVM 3.4.4 after few minor tweaks:
1) In conf/CYGWIN.def I've put: -DARCHCLASS=\"CYGWIN\" -DRSHCOMMAND=\"ssh\" (I use ssh keys) and also added -lrpclib -lreadline to ARCHDLIB and ARCHLIB 2) In console/cons.c I've added #include <readline/history.h> 3) In xdr/types.h I've removed prototype: extern char *malloc(); 4) my $HOME contains spaces: "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/afarber" so I had do put quotes around -f "$HOME/.somefilename" in the pvm and pvmd scripts in several spots. After that PVM compiles fine, but I have troubles to start the pvm-console: $ /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3/lib/CYGWIN/pvm.exe /tmp/pvmhostfile.152 libpvm [pid3848] /tmp/pvmd.459794: No such file or directory libpvm [pid3848]: Console: Can't start pvmd $ cat /tmp/pvmhostfile.152 * dx=/usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3/lib/pvmd 4DED01089 4ded01089 $ echo $PVM_ROOT $PVM_ROOT_U /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3 /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3 OpenSSH access works fine, this can't be the reason: $ ssh-add -l 1024 32:61:2a:cd:44:ac:29:cf:77:8f:88:0f:e4:c3:40:88 /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/afarber/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA) I suspect, that something very minor is missing (some space in a path or maybe ".exe" missing somewhere) I keep looking through PVM's source code to find the place, where pvm starts pvmd but haven't found that yet. Did anybody else struggle with PVM on Cygwin and do you have any hints for me please?
