Broken as in it won't build.

Since I have build probably all 'last' windows builds, the 'fixes' to
build Cherokee are in the bugtracker on Google. It still lacks so basics
to make cherokee usable.

On the other hand, if you are running Windows 7, you have the availability
of Interix. This is a complete Unix environment in Windows. If you compile
Cherokee from there chances are that every works as it would on OSX/BSD
etc.

I have Interix partially working in Windows 7. I cannot build Cherokee
because of a problem I have that I'm trying to work around.

One of Cherokee's functions requires gettext. When I try to install gettext,
the following happens:

% pkg_update -L gettext
Starting checks for updates
Percent download complete/package:
100% |**************************************************|
gettext
^C
Signal 2 received, cleaning up
Please don't '^C' again!
tar: Signal caught, cleaning up.
pkg_update: Problem updating package
(ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/6.1-genuineintel/gettext-0.17.bin.tgz).
Continuing. : Undefined error: 0
Done.

I had to control-c because after about 10 minutes of waiting, gettext was
still not installed.
When I manage to install the package and build Cherokee, I'll report how it
runs.

Gettext is not required to build.


./configure --disable-nls


If you do succeed I really wonder if you can make a statically
compiled package that could be deployed in any Windows 7 installation.

I figured out the problem with gettext (Their FTP was limited; had to use
their HTTP) but now I have a problem and I'm not sure if my environment is
somehow messed up or if there is a bug of compiling Cherokee in Internix:
(Speaking of which, the compiling process would completely freeze because of
some missing dependencies, but now it's throwing out these)

(Note: I left off "-bin" on all of them to save space; may or may not be any
typos as I had to manually type it.. Can't mark text in Internix)

Could my environment be causing these errors or is it possibly a bug?

I think the readdir one is in the bugtracker with a patch, or most
likely in the FAQ.

When I add the flag --disable-readdir_r to the end of ./configure and then
try to compile it, it still throws out errors about directory functions. (I
checked in ./configure --help and --disable-readdir_r is the correct flag)

libtool: compile: gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -D_REENTRANT
-D_ALL_SOURCE -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -D_ALL_SOURCE
-MT util.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/util.Tpo -c util.c -DPIC -o .libs/util.o
util.c: In function 'cherokee_readdir':
util.c:500: error: 'readdir_mutex' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:500: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util.c:500: error: for each function it appears in.)
util.c:1775: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mkdtemp'
util.c:1775: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

After the error and two warnings, it throws out the exact same error codes
and line numbers..

Have you taken notice of the efforts by Microsoft to port Redis to Windows?
They're using the win32 pthread port* coupled with the libuv library from
the node.js project to gain cross platform support for libev. You can view
the build instructions and gain access to the patch (which includes a
modified version of libuv) at https://gist.github.com/1439660

antirez followed up the patch submission from MSFT with his own thoughts >
http://antirez.com/post/redis-win32-msft-patch.html

I haven't spent any time researching how easily -- if at all -- this same
process/code could be used in the port of Cherokee to Windows, but it
seemed worth pointing out just in case.

* See: ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/ to gain access to both
prebuilt binary and source releases. The source for the latest release can
be viewed in the sources subdirectory >
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/sources/pthreads-w32-2-8-0-release/<)
