libnetconf and netopeer-cli packaged for Cygwin

[SeanCondon]

Hi I have packaged libnetconf and netopeer-cli for Cygwin, and I want to know if it's OK if publish these to the Cygwin repository. I want to use netopeer-cli as a NETCONF client in Windows.

I have also packaged pyang, which libnetconf is dependent on. There were some small changes in libnetconf (lack of inotify support in Cygwin for example), but it's good enough to run netopeer-cli

Hi Sean, thank you, thats definitely ok. Can you please share some link or provide some more information about libnetconf in Cygwin we could add to our README?

Hi Radek. The process takes a while, so it could take a couple of weeks before it is in place. I'll let you know when it's there. Sean

Hi Sean, could I have a preview of the package for Cygwin. I was not able to cross compile it, and I would like to use it under Windows. Thanks in advance

Hi - I have put all the files on my Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByK-QTMnPfBQODNzVmJKWVdqV1E

See the documentation in there on how to install.

BTW - I tried to be a maintainer of this on Cygwin repositories, but really no one was interested. They expect it to be included in a mainline Linux distro before it is worthy of inclusion in Cygwin repositories.

Never mind you can install from a local file. Follow the document.

I haven't built the netopeer-server for Cygwin, just pyang, libnetconf and netopeer-cli I had to create a patch file for each of these in order to compile, as the raw source will not compile. I will upload the patches in to git, with some explanation.

The patches are now available at https://github.com/Enotron/libnetconf-cygwin
