Hi Eliot,
We don't really support Cygwin anymore, at least not as a first-class platform.
We used to (a long
time ago), but it always had caveats and got ever more awkward. Meanwhile,
with all the free
virtualization products out now, it made more sense if you really needed to
build on a windows
machine just to install linux in a vm and run it there. (That's what I do on
my laptop, for
example... not great for everyday use, but good enough if I want to get some
coding in while traveling.)
I see our wiki doesn't really reflect this reality; I'll update it.
If you really desperately want a cygwin build for some reason, I could work
with you to figure out
the issues.
Thanks, Steve -- it's not important to me that it work
on cygwin. A suitable note on the web pages, and
updating as people encounter things in the documentation
would be a service to the unwary (such as me!).
Regards -- Eliot
