Support #266
Compilation on M$Windows: cygwin
Description
- We believe it should be easy (is it?) to compile CoCoALib under cygwin. And CoCoA-5? And the GUI?
- CoCoA-5 has been compiled using MSVC (thanks Bruno Simoes), but the GUI has some mysterious problems. And the textual version? Are all the necessary files in our distribution?
We look for guineapigs. .... Christof? ;-)

I will document everything :-)
First my test with cygwin:installed:
- libgmp-devel: includes the headers
- libgmp3, libgmpxx4: the lib and the c++ interface
- gmp: not sure if it is needed
- libboost-devel: boost headers and link libraries
I couldn't find qmake in the cygwin setup so I will skip building the gui.
$ ./configure Starting configuration process for CoCoALib... Using GMP version 4.3.2 with gmpxx at system default location which: no qmake in [long list of paths] Not using BOOST ==> compilation of CoCoA5+GUI disabled cc1plus: fatal error: CheckULong2Long.C: Permission denied compilation terminated. ***ERROR*** [[./cpp-flags-ulong2long.sh]] Compilation of test program failed ***ERROR*** Customization failed ***ERROR***
Taking the default gmp location works, what a great achievement :)
For boost the search was not successful, the configure script should print information about that! My manual debugging yield:
csoeger@t510-3 ~/cocoa/CoCoALib-0.9952/configuration $ ./boost-find-hdrs.sh /usr/include csoeger@t510-3 ~/cocoa/CoCoALib-0.9952/configuration $ ./boost-find-lib.sh /usr/include/ WARNING: CoCoA-5 needs the following BOOST sublibraries: thread system filesystem
libnormaliz just needs the headers, so it should still be possible to compile with libnormaliz.
libboost-devel also installed the runtime libraries (says cygwin) and have these two files releated to the error:
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.a
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.dll.a
I guess the script needs an adaption for that.
The "permission denied" was caused by strange file permissions. I unpacked the .tgz in windows and all files have no permission at all. Probably it would be wise to unpack it in cygwin.
Changed the permission for that file and now the configure goes through.
And also the make causes no problem now! When the boost location script is updated I will try to build C5.

--with-libnormaliz test:
Not using BOOST ==> compilation of CoCoA5+GUI disabled The C++ compiler is g++ The C++ compilation flags are "-Wall -pedantic -O2" OPTIONAL external libraries: Not using Frobby Not using GSL Using Normaliz: /home/csoeger/source/libnormaliz/libnormaliz.a ------------------------------------------------------- CoCoALib configuration process complete Configuration info saved in file configuration/autoconf.mk ------------------------------------------------------- csoeger@t510-3 ~/cocoa/CoCoALib-0.9952 $ make ======================================================= Compiling CoCoALib-0.9952 CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -O2 CXXFLAGS_DEFINES = -DCoCoA_ULONG2LONG=1 -DCoCoA_WITH_NORMALIZ -Wno-long-long =======================================================
So it seems to work even when it says no boost. And it indeed does, test and example work!

I have added a new file INSTALL-cygwin in the CoCoA root directory; it contains a summary of various hints for preparing Cygwin to build CoCoALib and CoCoA-5. At the moment it is in italian. It seems to cover most points Christof mentioned.

After a fresh install I can confirm it still works as before. :-)
The INSTALL-cygwin file is indeed helpful. It says to create symbolic links for the boost libs. Can the configure script be changed to also find the libs in the cygwin setup?
For compilation with MSVS I will create a new issue since it is quite different. Can you upadate the title of this topic?

I think I managed to compile the textual version and prepare a distribution for it!
it is available on the web page (5.0.3-text-win)
Most of the work done by John Abbott in preparing the configuration.
Thanks to Alessandro Cartatone for all the assistance on the virtual machine.
