[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1197) trunk no longer builds on Windows

["Dave Cottlehuber (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13066361#comment-13066361 ] 

Dave Cottlehuber commented on COUCHDB-1197:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks Randall, last set of commits fixes it. As I mentioned there is still a hack needed for cygwin's libtool to correctly compile snappy C++ on windows. I don't yet have a permanent fix for this obscene hackery:

./configure generates a custom libtool in $COUCH_TOP from the system supplied one in /bin/libtool.
    mv libtool libtool.dist
    more libtool.dist | sed -E -e 's/ \\\$\{wl\}--enable-auto-image-base -Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker \\\$lib//'  -e 's/(-shared -nostdlib)/-dll \1/' > libtool
the make etc as usual.

NB this is the second type of shenanigans we have - see COUCHDB-439 as well - some housework reqd.

> ./configure fails
> - can no longer correctly find libcurl (after COUCHDB-1042) and instead compiles against cygwin's curl which is *bad*. Patch attached to resolve this.
> - finds jsapi.h correctly but can no longer use it. Work by dch to identify when it broke and how to fix this underway.
