Hi, I wanted to add the function strcasestr() from glibc to the cygwin's libc and I have encountered a serie of difficulties and questions. Some of them are related to the process of offering changes to cygwin but I will reserve those for the other mailing list.
1- I have modified a Makefile.am file to include the new c file to compile but I have never been able to regenerate the corresponding Makefile.in. I have guessed that maybe I had to configure the project in the maintainer mode but I have never been able to make it work with the needed custom tools from RedHat. I have finally workaround problem #1 but editing manually the Makefile.in file. How are you supposed to regenerate the Makefile.in? 2-During make, I have received some errors during the doc generation but I did not care since this is done after compiling the dll (errors attached if someone is interested to look at them). 3-The generated cygwin0.dll looks like an exact copy of cygwin1.dll. Does that dll has a special purpose or it is just a building artifact? 4-My generated libcygwin.a is 3.6MB vs 953KB for the one distributed with the cygwin binaries. Obviously, I did not build the same thing. Does someone have an idea about what would explain that difference? 5-Doing 'make install' broke my cygwin setup (gcc was exiting without generating any output). Even reinstalling every cygwin components from setup.exe did not solve the problem. To fix that problem, I have to erase the 'cygwin' directory completely before reinstalling cygwin. To workaround that problem, instead of doing 'make install' I have just manually copied cygwin1.dll and libcygwin.a from the src package to the appropriate locations. Thank you, Olivier Langlois http://www.streamtheworld.com
