Would anyone care to try this?
I'm not too adept at programming... and I would love to be able to run this codebase through cygwin (I'm still timid about getting a full Linux installation).

For background notes, the Awake code is a Circle derivative. You can find it at:

What kind of errors do you get when you compile it on Cygwin?

After changing -Dlinux to -Dcygwin and "making", here's the error output:

Quote:
dblist.cpp: In member function `bool helpList::FindTopic(char*, char*)':
dblist.cpp:377: error: no matching function for call to `getline(char**,
size_t*, FILE*&)'
dblist.cpp:379: error: no matching function for call to `getline(char**,
size_t*, FILE*&)'
make: *** [dblist.o] Error 1

Here's the block of code with the offending errors:

bool helpList::FindTopic(char *help, char *arg)
{
  nodeStruct<struct help_index_data *> *temp;
  FILE *fl;
  for (temp = head; temp; temp = temp->next) {
    if (isname(arg, temp->data->keyword)) {
      fl = fopen(temp->data->filename, "r");
      if (fl) {
        char *tempc = NULL;
        size_t line;
        getline(&tempc, &line, fl);
        sprintf(buf, "^W%s^n\r\n", temp->data->keyword);
        while (getline(&tempc, &line, fl) != -1)
          sprintf(ENDOF(buf), "%s\r", tempc);
        strcpy(help, buf);
        fclose(fl);
        return TRUE;
      }
    }
  }
  return FALSE;
}

I have the full Cygwin installation plus the most recent updates, so...

Do you know where getline is defined? And did you change that define because you were told to, or because you think you're supposed to? What happens if you compile with -Dlinux?
