cygport and static only libs

Yaakov,
question on cygport:
I am playing with openmpi but for the time being, I am not yet able to
built the dynamic modules due to interdepencies.

How I can bypass this during installation:

Fixing libtool modules:
         usr/lib/openmpi/libompi_dbg_msgq.la
*** ERROR: libompi_dbg_msgq.la dynamic module was not built

Regards
Marco

lrzip pthread problem

I can't get lrzip to do anything other than hang or exit with errors.

(In case it's helpful, I'm on XP SP3 with a completely fresh cygwin, 
everything up-to-date, and the machine is a hyperthreading-enabled P4.)

If I run it with normal options it hangs, taking all CPU time on one 
virtual core. If I run it with -p 1 to specify only one thread it says 
"pthread_mutex_unlock failed" and exits.

Here's the -vv output when running with -p 1. Running without -p 1 says 
"Threading is ENABLED. Number of CPUs detected: 2" and then hangs after 
"Byte width: 4".

The following options are in effect for this COMPRESSION.

sdl and other libraries

I'm testing out some cross-platform automated build utlities and using Cygwin as one of the test platforms. One of the libraries I wanted to test building was SDL and I couldn't get it to build for Cygwin out of the box. So, I asked on the SDL mailing list and they refered me to http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/SDL;a=tree as a starting point. I applied the patches by hand to the latest version of 1.2.15. If I leave out the SDL_platform.h patch and use the other patches, I'm able to get the latest version of SDL to build successfully on Cygwin (using ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, make install). The only part that doesn't look quite right is that the dll is named SDL.dll instead of cygSDL.dll. Haven't had the chance to look into that further. I was also able to build pdcurses using SDL. (Would be curious to know if there are any advantages to ncurses over pdcurses other than ncurses running in a Cygwin console outside of X.) I've been attempting to get the Equinox Desktop ( http://equinox-project.org/ ) to build on Cygwin. I have pieces of it running and am working with the developer to see how much farther I can get. Am testing out building some other Open Source applications on Cygwin as well. If anyone's interested in some of the patches or anything, let me know.

Sincerely,

Laura

Package submission

Hi,
is this the right place for a package submission to cygwin-ports?
My proposed package seems to be too exotic for the cygwin main 
distribution, so I'd like to contribute it here.

Algol 68 Genie - a compiler for the most thoroughly designed and defined
programming language ever.
Available as a package already for Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD.

wget http://towo.net/algol68g/setup.hint
wget http://towo.net/algol68g/algol68g-2.3.7.4-0.tar.bz2
wget http://towo.net/algol68g/algol68g-2.3.7.4-0-src.tar.bz2

(Package fixed after previous discussions on cygwin list, see 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-04/msg00052.html).

Question about pyqt4 file dialogs, native vs. QFileDialog

Hi,

Firstly thanks for putting so much work into this project, well done!

I'm working on a large commercial application running on Unix/Linux and X11. We're using Cygwin/X to run on Windows (we've purchased a license from Redhat). We're looking to move away from X11 and towards Cygwin/pyqt, and eventually running fully native without the need for Cygwin. Of course we'll also buy a pyqt license if we decide to ship pyqt apps.

I installed the cygwin-ports version of pyqt4, and it works quite well with the examples from the PyQt book (http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html). However, I notice it's using the QFileDialog instead of the native Windows file dialog. It's also using Posix paths. I'm wondering if there is any way of using the native Windows file dialogs instead? I know the native windows version of pyqt does this, I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to tell the cygwin version of pyqt to do the same. I can handle win32/posix path conversion if needed.

As an alternative, is it possible to use the 'native' windows pyqt packages (ie: from riverbankcomputing.co.uk) from a Cygwin python process? I suppose this would be one way to get native file dialogs, but it seems cleaner to avoid this if possible.

Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Chris LeBlanc
