2024-01-18Cygwin: replace all `fgrep' with `grep -F'Corinna Vinschen
Unfortunately fgrep is now deprecated in a very pushy way. Make sure to use grep -F instead all around, even in docs and comments/ Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
2023-07-22Cygwin: testsuite: Drop using DejaGnu to run testsJon Turney
A more sophisticated (and modern) test harness would probably be useful, but switching to Automake's built-in test harness gets us parallel test execution, colourization of failures, simplifies matters, seems adequate for the current testuite, and means we don't need to write any icky Tcl.

2023-07-14Cygwin: testsuite: Drop Adminstrator privileges while running testsJon Turney
Test access05 and symlink03 expect operations to fail which succeed when we have Adminstrator privileges. There's perhaps a bit of incoherency here: some XFAILed tests expect to run as root (so maybe we need the ability to selectively cygdrop?). Signed-off-by: Jon Turney <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk>
2023-07-14Cygwin: testsuite: Setup test prereqs in 'installation' the tests run inJon Turney
Do some setup in the Cygwin 'installation' at testsuite/testinst/: * Ensure /tmp exists * Use BusyBox to provide executables needed by tests which use system() (sh, sleep, ls) This enables tests which use system(), or require /tmp to exist to pass. Signed-off-by: Jon Turney <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk>
2023-02-14Cygwin: dumper: also link with libzstd, as libbfd may require itJon Turney
Also allow that linkage to be dynamic, as libzstd-devel doesn't currently provide a static library.
2022-12-21Cygwin: configure: Add option to disable building 'dumper'Jon Turney
Rather than guessing, based on just the presence of libbfd, add an explicit configuration option, to build dumper or not, defaulting to building it. This might have some use when bootstrapping Cygwin for a new architecture, or when building your own Cygwin-targetted cross-compiler, rather than installing one from the copr, along with the dependencies of libbfd.

2022-12-03Cygwin: FAQ: convert ulinks to FAQ to xrefsCorinna Vinschen
Using ulinks here makes the result work on cygwin.com only, while xrefs to FAQs are creating realtive links. Add xreflabel where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

Update FAQs for removal of 32-bit Cygwin Also update FAQs for dropping support for Windows Vista/Server 20008
2021-12-20cygwin: Add cocom and patch to build prerequisites in FAQJon Turney
Add patch, and make cocom unconditional in list of build prerequisites. Even though the products of these tools are checked in, these tools are required when building in a fresh git checkout, presumably due to the order in which git creates the files resulting in timestamps which indicate that the output of rules using these tools are older than the inputs. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250124.html Also drop a duplicate sentence about 'fetch sources from git'.
2021-12-18Cygwin: Conditionally build documentationJon Turney
Add a configure option '--disable-doc' to disable building of the documentation by the 'all' target. Check for the required tools at configure time, and require them if building documentation is enabled. Even if building the documentation was diabled with '--disable-doc', 'make -C doc' at the top-level can still make the documentation, if the documentation tools were found. If the tools were not found, 'missing' is used to issue a warning about that. Update instructions for building Cygwin appropriately. (Building documentation remains the default to increase the chances of noticing when building the documentation is broken.)
