Cygwin is "Unknown Environment"

[lategoodbye]

When i try to build open-plc-utils with Cygwin i get following errors:

In file included from ../tools/memory.h:31:0,
             from efbu.c:49:
../tools/../tools/endian.h:64:2: Fehler: #error "Unknown environment"
../tools/../tools/endian.h:162:2: Fehler: #error "Unknown Environment"

In file included from efbu.c:53:0:
../ether/channel.h:73:9: Fehler: #error "Unknown Environment"
../ether/channel.h:158:2: Fehler: #error "Unknown Environment"

Tested with the following environment:
Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1
cygwin 1.7.20
GNU Make 3.82.90
gcc (GCC) 4.5.3

Maybe it would be good to use the define CYGWIN .

Good suggestion. Programs run properly under cygwin but it is unsupported for build purposes. You are right that we should let folks know that we actually do know what the environment is. Henceforth, the message shall read "Cygwin is unsupported!" until someone helps us support it.

Hi Stfan,

We have made no attempt to make the toolkit compilable under cygwin because
windows users have Microsoft C and C++ for that purpose and progams that
are compiled using Microsoft C and C++ will run natively under cygwin. If
you would like to invest the time to make the toolkit compilable under
cygwin without breaking it for the other platforms then please do so. We
just do not see the value in doing the work.

Hi Charlie,

i understand why support for Visual Studio is so important and not
cygwin, because of the historical origin of the plc utils as proprietary
tools.

My problem is that i'm unable to compile open-plc-utils under Windows,
neither with Visual Studio 10 Express (issue #3), 12 or cygwin. The
cygwin way was for me only a workaround. After all i gave up compiling
open-plc-utils under Windows.

I think another problem is that users interested in open-plc-utils won't
buy a license for Visual Studio only to compile this source code.

Best regards Stefan
