| @section @value{OS.cygwin} |
| Building on @value{OS.cygwin} is supported. The following are the recommended specifications for this platform; but is not necessarily the only configuration that is possible: |
| |
| @itemize @bullet |
| @item Intel 32-bit or 64-bit hardware |
| @item @value{OS.cygwin}, gcc 4.3.2 |
| @item gcc 3.4.0 or higher is reported to work |
| @end itemize |
| |
| @quotation Note |
| As of this writing, @value{OS.cygwin} has available to it several versions of gcc; only one of which may be found and used in the path as @code{gcc} and @code{g++}. Configure will thus find what is probably the older more stable version of gcc in a typical @value{OS.cygwin} environment. If you desire to build with the newer gcc, it is found in the path as @code{gcc-4} and @code{g++-4} respectively and you must indicate to configure the desired versions. Defining the following variables beforing running configure should do the trick: |
| @end quotation |
| |
| @example |
| setenv CC gcc-4 |
| setenv CXX gcc-4 |
| ../configure |
| @end example |
| |
| @include build/platform.common.conf.default.texi |
