Building on Cygwin

Requirements:

• make
• gcc
• libdb4.5
• libdb4.5-devel
• openssl-devel
• libpcrew-devel
• bison
• flex
• Tokyo Cabinet or QDBM and use ./autogen.sh --with-qdbm=/usr/local/include
• libpq3 (See note 3)

Notes during my attempt:

• As of 10/12/12 you have to pull or use zzamboni:fix/cygwin_compile

• I struggled to get Tokyo Cabinet to work correctly, and cfengine wouldn't build with it even when I just downloaded a build of Tokyo Cabinet. I built and installed QDBM, and after pointing cfengine's ./autogen.sh to the right directory (see above) it worked right away.

• I got an error message when running the execubles: Unable to load library: ? (Literally a question mark). Running strace (cf-keys.exe for example) I got the message: unable to load cygpq.dll. So I got that from cygwin and it worked.

Steps:

• ./autogen.sh
• make; (If you get an error when it starts building the docs, just keeping 'make'ing, it may bypass it and complete the build- related to note 3 above)
• make install
