Building nhc98 on Windows 2000

I am not able to fully build nhc98 V1.12 under Windows 2000 (cygwin): building hmake constantly fails. Has anyone ever tried to compile the latest release under Windows? I was able to work around several other problems: a) inclusion of stdint.h (which gave name conflicts), b) inclusion of inttypes.h (this file is not even present) and c) make clean removing all .hc files which subsequently were needed to build the thing again. I would be very glad to have a pre-built binary installation for Windows and not needing to build that of my own! (I assume I am not the only one :-) Regards, Bernd Holzmüller

I am not able to fully build nhc98 V1.12 under Windows 2000 (cygwin): building hmake constantly fails.
There was some recent discussion that suggested the separate distribution of hmake does not build under Cygwin, but that the version included with nhc98 builds fine. I am sorry to hear that even the latter version does not now build correctly. It would be helpful if you could supply some more details, such as the output of ./configure, and the last few lines of output before the failure.
I was able to work around several other problems: a) inclusion of stdint.h (which gave name conflicts), b) inclusion of inttypes.h (this file is not even present) and c) make clean removing all .hc files which subsequently were needed to build the thing again.
Could you supply some more details, particularly about how you worked around problems (a) and (b)? The only reason for #include'ing those files is to get the standard typedef for int64_t etc. Is there an alternative location for that in Cygwin?

I don't have access to any Windows machines, but surely someone else on the list must have? Regards, Malcolm
