Richard,

I ran through a build of 1.9.0 beta 1 on Cygwin without problem. That means it points back to your config.log file, which claims it doesn't have g++ or gcc installed. Could you check that by running this command:

$ g++
g++: no input files

If it says "no input files" like this, then I'm wrong, but I think you're going to have to run the Cygwin setup program, and make sure that both gcc and g++ are installed. The Cygwin setup program is not destructive - it will launch and show you what's installed, and you can check more boxes (like gcc, g++) and it will install those. Don't uncheck anything. It might also be good to make sure ncurses in installed.

Thanks so much Paul. I'm not sure what had changed from 1.8.2.. because I built that fine previously. But I definitely was missing the g++ package. I've upgraded my Cygwin install and it built fine. Thanks so much for the quick response.

Now to figure out how to turn on the alternating line shading. :)

Hope it's OK to piggyback off of this thread...

I just tried installing 1.9.0 on my new little laptop running Win7 using Cygwin...install went OK until the 'make install' step...starts OK but then get message that 'ncurses.h: No such file or directory...but I do have libncurses-devel and libncurses8 installed....

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Check out the new README.build file, and see if the instructions in there work for you. If not, we we'll work through it.

*That did it, Paul...¶

./configure --with-ncurses-inc=/usr/include/ncurses

Thanks!

Mark

Glad to hear it, Mark.
