report on building CVS 1.11.2 on NT

[Kris Thielemans]

Hi,

just to let you know:

I've successfully built CVS 1.11.2 on my NT 4.0 sp6a machine  using the
cygwin tools (which includes gcc 2.95.2). Just following the Unix
installation description worked fine. This CVS version also seems to run
fine on my NT machine.



I've also tried to use VC 6.0, but get stuck there during compilation:
nmake /f cvsnt.mak CFG="cvsnt - Win32 Debug"
<snip>
.\lib\valloc.c(10) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'getpagesize.h':
No such file or directory

Indeed, that file contains lines
#ifndef HAVE_GETPAGESIZE
# include "getpagesize.h"
#endif

I can compile that file by defining HAVE_GETPAGESIZE (changing the line in
windows-NT/config.h), but then of course I get a linking error

valloc.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _getpagesize
.\WinDebug/cvs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals


As I have the cygwin version, I'm not too worried about this, but for those
who wan tto investigate this further, it looks like there are 2 files
missing getpagesize.h and getpagesize.c.
