Hi,
Can anybody help me get started with building Liblouis under Cygwin and
MinGW? I have some contributions that I would like to make, but the VS build
does not work with Python or the the test tools for Liblouis built under
MinGW. I suspect there is an issue with calling convensions that differ
between the compilers. So I wanted to use MinGW to make things easier.
When I run the configure script under Cygwin, I get the following error
messages:
ls -t appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken alias in your
environment.
Newly created file is older than distributed files. Check your system clock.
My system clock works perfectly well. So I suspect there is an issue wth the
date and time format.
the ls -t command also gives reasonable output when I type it manually at
the Cygwin command prompt.
I do have experience with Windows and Visual Studio, but a Linux like
environment like Cygwin and MinGW is somewhat new to me.
I would be very thankful if somebody could put me on the right track.
