eggdrop Cygwin Compiling problem....

[rileyil77]

Every time I try to compile the eggdrop via the guide lines on this site:

http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml ... g.html#cg5

I get some weird error on my screen.

eggdrop@slasher ~/eggdrop1.6.20
$ make eggdrop
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eggdrop/eggdrop1.6.20/src'

This may take a while. Go get some runts.

Not sure what it's saying. I think it is telling me it can't find tchar.h, but I'm not sure. Any help would be grateful. The only reason I'm comping my own is because every time I run the logs2html module it crashes my eggdrop. Some one here a while back suggested I compile my own. So, I finally am. Not sure if it matters but I've installed latest version of Cygwin on Windows XP Professional 32Bit Operating System.

Try some instructions specific for building on cygwin: http://windrop.sourceforge.net/compile16.html

Most importantly, don't use cygwin's Tcl. And, of course, if you are using 1.6.20, it makes sense to use it's own documentation, not some 7 years old docs from an obsolete version.

This still doesn't fix my problem. It gives me the same error.

Which Cygwin version do you have installed?

[rileyil77]

eggdrop@slasher ~/eggdrop1.6.20
$ cygcheck --version
cygcheck version 1.126

Can anyone out there help me?

The information above tells me the version of some cygcheck application (thanks, I'll check it out, didn't know it exists) and the version of Windows which is XP, but you already wrote this.

Anyway, can you paste the output of uname -a and also tell us which Tcl version are you using? Did you follow the windrop compiling instructions strictly?

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 slasher 1.7.8(0.236/5/3) 2011-03-01 09:36 i686 Cygwin

I was trying to use TCL version 8.5.9, because on the Windows Box that's the version I have installed. Yes, I was following instructions to the bone.
