Win32 binaries with Cygwin

[Pjot]

Folks,

For fun I tried to get BaCon running in a Win32 environment using Cygwin. It revealed another small bug, but after fixing this the compilation went quite well.

Some Win32 binaries can be found here. Make sure to put the Cygwin DLL in your path.

If you want to compile BaCon programs in Win32, install at least Cygwin 1.7.10 or higher.

All,

Also HUG programs are running, see screenshot.

BR,
Peter

Thanks James,

Also I have updated HUG to 0.70 so it can be used with Cygwin/X now.

Peter,
How serious are you with the cygwin port?
I have found some issues but if this was just an experiment I'll move on.

James,

Well, I found some issues too with the 'small' BaCon binary. It was compiled using some optimizations, but the resulting bacon.exe works bad. So I have removed the 'small' binary because it seems to be unreliable.

If you find problems with the 'normal' binary (435490 bytes in size) then let me know. As far as I can see this one works fine.

For HUG, the only problem I ran into was the FILESELECTION dialog, whose Win32 implementation appears to have known issues.

BR,
Peter
