compiling error

You need to install a little more than the four listed; minires & mingw-runtime being just two to ensure proper compilation of the dns module.

Anyway, you do not delete any tcl/tk folders. Once cygwin is installed, within the shell copy tcl-8.4.xx.tar.gz to your root folder and simply extract it as directed; everything will go into the right place.

Ok.
If i chose 'all' (in cygwin setup) all packes should be installed? Or do i need to download them extra?

One would hope all get installed but you never know your luck.

A quick look in the CygwinSetup folder reveals all.

Damm.

To change the cygwin1.dll from bin against the old version won`t help. Cygwin won`t start without errormessages then.

I want to get ride of the error ...."proto.h:133: error: conflicting types for 'dprintf'"....
Well, i guess that i need to get the old version of cygwin. This means the hole old setup. The problem will be the get it?

Or any other solution?

So, you installed all, and didn't install Tcl? That don't make sense.

You are so right!
This doesn`t make sense.

I didn`t know that cygwin will install a copy of tcl.
Finnaly i got you what you want me to do. :/

How to i uninstall tcl from cygwin? In setup, which part is it? Admin, Archive, Audio, ..... Which part?

EDIT:
--> LIBS --> TCL/TK.....
it`s the only one to uninstall?

I really do not understand what you have done (or not done) but in my previous post I said there is no need to "uninstall" tcl/tk, you simply just download the tarball, copy it to the root folder (all done whilst in the cygwin shell) and simply untar it; it will put itself into the proper location(s) and overwrite whatever is already there.

To get to your root folder within the cygwin shell you simply type: cd /

You can download the appropriate tcl tarball from here.

This is caused by a bug in Cygwin 1.5.19-x, 'dprintf' is defined in stdio.h but doesn't exist in the Cygwin library, so configure doesn't detect it.

To work around the bug in meantime:
Use Cygwin installer to go back to Cygwin 1.5.18-1

OR

After configure is completed, edit the config.h in eggdrop source directory and change:
/* #undef HAVE_DPRINTF */
to
#define HAVE_DPRINTF 1

God bless you. Working.

Big thanks to everyone.
Finally i sucessfully compiled a windrop with cygwin myself.

I don`t want to withhold you: after compiling it the bot doesn`t connect to irc immediately. So telnet the bot to see whats up. "DNS lookup failed" when trying to connect to IRC servers.

A quick look into the windrop faq told me that i have to to disable the dns module.
loadmodule dns
to
#loadmodule dns
Done that. Bot connecting fast. Works until now without problems. The command dnslookup works aswell too.

Maybe i write a windrop compiling guide. Tbh that wasn`t easy for someone who never used cygwin before with all those pitfalls and the uncomplete compiling guide.

I say, even though this is an eggdrop forum and not a windrop forum, we be damn helpful anyways

sKy, why don't you uninstall/delete everything related to cygwin and/or tcl, then redo it from scratch, following the instructions to a T

Sure seems like a load of work tryin' to find that proverbial needle-in-a-haystack error...

just a thought, hope you get through it

Maybe. I notice some things.
- It won`t be make much sense to start a windrop only forum. (imho)
- Eggdrop is not that different from windrop.
- Here are a lot of guys who want to help.
- It`s non comercial and like every thread else here. Therefore the admins of this fourm won`t care about.

sKy, why don't you uninstall/delete everything related to cygwin and/or tcl, then redo it from scratch, following the instructions to a T

Cause i have already done that several times. The instructions was a bit outdated and umcomplete.

Perhaps you missed to to read my previos post before answering here? I said imy previous post that my problem is solved. =o
