Building APR with Cygwin?
Has anyone build APR 1.1.1 on Cygwin? I found some packages at Cygwin's
site but they were 0.9.5 and 0.9.6.
I tried building the Unix distribution directly but the configure script
dies with "decision on anonymous shared memory allocation method
failed." Is this a well-known problem?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
It sounds like you are building for MinGW, and Cygwin is just a build
environment. Is that what you want; native binaries produced using a
normal build system?

Curt Arnold has successfully built it using Ant + cpptask as part of
the log4cxx project.
If you want to take a look, most of the problems have been addressed
in this patch:
http://zeroj.hda0.net/apr-win32-20050713.patch
There may be win32 problems in these changes because the tests do not
build using the libtool approach. Here is the log.
$ make test

I am working on removing the libtool dependance in order that a native
dll is created and used.

I feel like I remember a little discussion about this on this list at some
point in the past, but basically what I'd ask is, simply, why use Cygwin?
APR is by its nature designed to be its own portability layer -- you don't
need the added portability layer of cygwin stacked on top of it. You can
build APR natively on win32 with no trouble at all; we distribute visual
studio projects with APR for this purpose. The upshot is that you can
therefore build a native Subversion on win32 as well by using a native
APR, since it's APR's job to do all the interfacing with the operating
system.

The problem is that I need to compile using MinGW under Cygwin, and
MinGW doesn't provide any of the shared memory header files (shm.h,
sys/mmap.h, sys/mman.h, etc.) so the test fails.
A quick Google shows that a few other people have had this problem
trying to build Subversion with MinGW but it doesn't look like anyone's
resolved it. Does anyone know of a successful APR build with MinGW?
Thanks,

I quickly attempted this on Cygwin using the 1.1.1 & trunk code,
without any issues. The relevant part of the log for each looks like
this on Windows XP when I generate configure using an up to date
Cygwin with `autoconf-2.5x'
...
checking for shmdt... yes
checking for shmctl... yes
checking for create_area... no
checking for MAP_ANON in sys/mman.h... yes
checking for /dev/zero... yes
checking for mmap that can map /dev/zero... yes
decision on anonymous shared memory allocation method... 4.4BSD-style
mmap() via
MAP_ANON
decision on namebased memory allocation method... SysV IPC shmget()
...
I dont know a lot about Cygwin, but I would check that out first.
What were the configure results for header sys/mman.h, function mmap,
and function munmap?
Cheers,
John
