I patched Jam with the #ifdef __CYGWIN__, and it builds Haiku just
fine, tested with Haiku4 on
Cygwin, Haiku2 on Linux. The images work okay in VMWare.
I also changed Jams version identifier to the current date, so it's
clear that this is a changed version.
I'm sending the patch with this mail - if you prefer this via private
email in the future, let me know.
Is it still desired to apply this patch?
Come to think of it, yes. :-) I think it would be good to make compiling
from Cygwin as easy as possible. Not that it has any value in itself due
to the slowness, but maybe to hook a few people into trying to build
Haiku. When they get depressed about the compile times, we can still tell
them about using Linux VMs...
Actually it was the ability of building in Cygwin which brought me back to
Haiku development. It was one of those "That's supposed to work? Let's try
this..." things. Switching to a Linux VM to ease the pains followed from
that. But without Cygwin builds I wouldn't be here now.
