[AD] Getting Allegro for MSVC to build with Cygwin |
[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]
I have now made it possible to build Allegro for MSVC with Cygwin. Attatched is a diff of allegro\makefile.vc from version 4.1.9 and a diff of allegro\docs\build\msvc.txt from version 4.1.9 msvc.txt now explains how to build Allegro for MSVC using Cygwin. makefile.vc now checks for the environment variable ALLEGRO_USE_CYGWIN and if it's present, sets UNIX_TOOLS to be 1 and when compiling runner.exe, it passes -mno-cygwin to GCC (question: Is there a reason why runner.exe is compiled with GCC instead of MSVC?) In mscv.txt, it says "Allegro should work ok with MSVC versions 4, 5 and 6". Should we include version 7 too? Do the makefiles and docs for building Allegro for other Windows or DOS compilers such as BCC or Watcom need changing too to work with Cygwin? Are there any other DOS/Windows based compilers supported by Allegro? AE.
