Replying to myself, but I've found something out

obviously GSSSLHandle.m has not been ported to cygwin. I see there only 
stuff like:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
#ifndef __MINGW__
#define __MINGW__

and:

#if defined(__MINGW__)
#include <winsock2.h>

but no occurence of any CYGWIN so far. 


btw. what would be the right String on cygwin? __CYGWIN__?


Also the GNUstep-make package seems to miss definitions for cygwin. In 
core/make/user_home.c there are just things like:

#ifdef __MINGW32__
#ifndef __MINGW__
#define __MINGW__
#endif
#ifndef __WIN32__
#define __WIN32__
#endif
#endif

and:

#if defined(__MINGW__)
# include <windows.h>
#endif

and so on but again no occurence of any cygwin stuff anywhere.


Anyway, i got around *this* stuff for now by pasing the '--disable-openssl
' to configure, but the failure on the first try remained (so I had to 
issue 'make' twice). The next failure was some autogsdoc.m stuff similar 
to the GSSLHandle stuff below (undefined reference to `__imp__NSLog' and 
so on). Seems like linking libgnustep-base really failed.

greets, Lars


P.S.: Why do I use cygwin? It comes with all the required packages 
available in an relatively simple GUI installer (and one day GNUstep 
itself could be made into such a package)
