cfengine 3.4 - cygwin build instructions

I would like to build cfengine 3.4 on cygwin.

It appears that this should be possible - here is patch to enable the build: link.

Are there any step by step build instructions for compiling cfengine 3.4 on cygwin?

Solution

  • Install cygwin (I setup 1.7.17) with:

    • make
    • gcc
    • flex
    • bison
    • openssl-devel
    • libpcre-devel

    Download qdbm from here, then:

    tar xvzf qdbm-1.8.78.tar.gz
cd qdbm-1.8.78
./configure
make
install
cp /usr/local/lib/libqdbm.* /usr/lib

    Download cfengine from here, then:

    tar xvzf cfengine-3.4.3.tar.gz
cd cfengine-3.4.3
./configure --with-qdbm
make
make install

    Now I just need to figure out how to use cfengine!
