Compiling Minisap Server on Cygwin

[rossmac]

I am trying to compile the 0.2.4 version of the MiniSAP server on top
of a Cygwin environment.

The instructions on how to compile are sketchy, so I did the following

E:\minisapserver\miniSAPserver-0.2.4>sh
$ ./configure
$make --makefile=MAKEFILE

The ./configure generates the MAKEFILE, but the make utility is failing with the following errors:

make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/e/minisapserver/miniSAPserver-0.2.4'
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -Wall -MT broadcast.o -MD -MP -MF ".d
broadcast.Tpo" \
-c -o broadcast.o `test -f 'broadcast.cpp' || echo './'`broadcast.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/broadcast.Tpo" ".deps/broadcast.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/broadcast.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
In file included from broadcast.cpp:40:

What is missing, or what have I done wrong?

VLC was not run on the cygwin environment for a long time. So you will have to do the porting yourself.

correction to thedj's post : miniSAPserver and not VLC ...

Does anyone know if there is a binary package for Cygwin with the IPv6 libraries?

Most of the errors above are coming from the lack of an IPv6 library component in Cygwin.

I can find an unofficial set of libraries that are not fully integrated with Cygwin, and require hand splicing into Cygwin.

I'm hoping that there might be a 'testing' package available through the Cygwin setup utility.
