[Dillo-dev]Dillo on Cygwin

[Kelson Vibber]

A few days ago I noticed that GTK+ and GLib are now available through 
the Cygwin installer, so I started reworking my directions for building 
Dillo on Cygwin (currently at 
http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/cygwin.html ).  I hadn't tried 
it since Dillo 0.7.3, so when I built 0.8.2 with the new built-in 
libraries, I discovered some problems with DPI.

First, since Cygwin knows it's running under Windows, it appends .exe to 
any executable files it builds.  (When you run a command in Cygwin, it 
will look for the file as written, then look for it with .exe added -- 
so the compiler is really gcc.exe but you can still run it by typing 
"gcc".)  This includes the DPI plugins, which end up being 
bookmarks.dpi.exe, downloads.dpi.exe, etc.  This means dpid will not 
find them when it looks for available plugins unless you rename them.

Second, even after renaming them, I can't get any DPI plugins to 
actually work.  Here is the output from clicking on the bookmarks button:

Nav_open_url: Url=>dpi:/bm/<
   url_str = dpi:/bm/
Dpi_check_uds: Connection refused /tmp/kvibber-5re3lm/dpid.srs
debug_msg - init_sockdir: The socket directory /tmp/kvibber-5re3lm 
exists and is OK
dpid started
Capi_dpi_conn_timeout:: try 1
main.c:153: get_command: dpid tag is NULL
  : main.c:326: main: get_command failed
  : bookmarks.dpi (v.13): accepting connections...
[accept]: Software caused connection abort

File permissions on the sockets look the same as they do on a Linux box 
(srw-------)

It may just be something about the way Cygwin handles sockets. 
Unfortunately I have very little experience with sockets on *any* 
platform (and very little experience with C, for that matter)

Anyway, I figure Cygwin support probably isn't a priority, but I thought 
I'd point out the issues in case anyone was interested in tracking them 
down.
