[redland-dev] Using Cygwin on XP

[Scott L. Holmes]

My first email to the list.

I recently started to work with Redland. Here's
what I've done so far:

I downloaded and installed Cygwin on my XP box. I
installed what I think are the necessary
packages. When I run ./configure for
Rapter-1.4.8, rapper gets built OK and seems to
work. I'm getting a status of No for the libxml's
nanohttp (could be a clue). The tests always bomb
out on turtle however. I was hoping that it's
because I don't have a package installed (make
tells me I have an undefined symbol!).

Here's an excerpt from the make check.

If anyone has tried Cygwin or knows what might be
up, I'd be indebited for sure. Ultimately, my
goal is get Redland working with Ruby (and
hopefully Rails). I'm exceedingly excited about
this prospect, so I'm really hoping I can get
everything going.

Let me know if I should send more output. I
didn't want my first post to be 60K of basically
nothing.
