There is a script in the Cygwin/build-scripts folder for generating a series of
|
||
|
|
GNU makefiles for building the SDL2 project and some parts of its test suite.
|
||
|
|
These work similarly to the MinGW makefiles, but the overall Cygwin project has
|
||
|
|
significant limitations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current project will not build correctly. It's experimental and has a lot of
|
||
|
|
tweaking needed to be built. It was built successfully once, but it has not been
|
||
|
|
maintained in any way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Cygwin project is limited in that it is not expected to be able to run
|
||
|
|
anything visual at all. It is not difficult to enable all of the visual tests
|
||
|
|
and support (such as X11 support or OpenGL), but it is not a goal for this
|
||
|
|
project. For the complexity of having a compatible desktop environment setup on
|
||
|
|
Cygwin, it's assumed that will not be the case for most users of the generated
|
||
|
|
Cygwin project. As a result, only the core tests and library are built for
|
||
|
|
Cygwin, focusing on things like thread support, file operations, and various
|
||
|
|
system queries and information gathering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Cygwin directory does have automated tests to run through the tests
|
||
|
|
supported by Cygwin. It also has separate build scripts for both debug and
|
||
|
|
release builds, though this is assuming the GNU make utility is located in the
|
||
|
|
user's PATH.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Cygwin project has no outstanding dependencies, since it is designed to be
|
||
|
|
mostly minimalistic and just relied on the POSIX functionality provided by
|
||
|
|
Cygwin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like the other projects, you may cleanup the entire directory of any generated
|
||
|
|
or built files using the clean script located in Cygwin/build-scripts.
