install greywolf on cygwin issue

[eeegar]

Hello Ruben,

I am a hardware guy doing place and route for years and I have absolute zero knowledge about software developing, but I want to try greywolf on my design and I have no choice but to learn how to compile ;)

I am trying to compile greywolf on my windows computer and I am using Cygwin64 to do that. cmake step goes without errors, but during make it gives the following errors ( I did make -i and grepped all errors from the log so I could capture all errors, without onion peeling). There are 2 issues:

The first issue starts with getCompileDate error and translates to places where it uses this:

[ 21%] Linking C shared library cygycadgraywolf-1.dll CMakeFiles/ycadgraywolf.dir/program.c.o:program.c:(.text+0x3d): undefined reference to getCompileDate' CMakeFiles/ycadgraywolf.dir/program.c.o:program.c:(.text+0x3d): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol getCompileDate'

The second issue is related to some extra libraries needed for cygwin so it understands stdin and stdout. Or, if I somehow compile it with "#define linux" switch, they all should go away. But I don't know how. It is also same kind of issue in different files:

I am stuck with this for 2 days already, if you have any hint or solution, please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance, Igor

I have the same problem with the latest Cygwin version : any trick ?
