Problems running examples on cygwin.

Apologies for flooding the list with stupid questions :-) I'm a windows
developer, and my Unix/Cygwin knowledge is not that great.....

Anyway, got Orocos compiled under cygwin, and all but one of the tests
passed (which is better than what I should have expected according to the
docs).

I realise that some of the examples need OCL to be available, (which I
believe does not compile under cygwin presently). However I can't even get
Simple Task working.....

Here is the compiler output. Any pointers would be fantastic!!!

$ make
g++ -c -Wall -g `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config

Package orocos-ocl-gnulinux was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `orocos-ocl-gnulinux.pc' to
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

We didn't anticipate broken installations :-) Just like the warning says:

> /usr/local/include/rtt/rtt-config.h:12:2: #error "You _must_ define
> OROCOS_TARGET to an installed target (for example: -DOROCOS_TARGET=gnulinux
> )"

Add -DOROCOS_TARGET=gnulinux (there is no cygwin target) to the OROFLAGS of
the Makefile. Normally, this flag is added by the pkg-config tool, but since it
gave you an error (not finding OCL), you got no flags at all.

Since even SimpleTask requires
#include <ocl/TaskBrowser.hp

You'd need to compile at least the OCL TaskBrowser for cygwin as well. It
depends on libreadline5-devel (or similar). The TaskBrowser should be fairly
portable to cygwin...

Note that this is all very experimental stuff, your contributions and comments
are very welcome, but please bear with us until we got it in a stable release.

Problems running examples on cygwin.

Some feedback on compiling with Cygwin.

I applied the patch, and after installing all the required libraries in
Cygwin, RTT and OCL compiled and worked.

The only things I had problems with, were the locations of the boost headers(cmake could not find them, I had to fix the path to be /usr/include/boost-1_33_1/, rather than just /usr/include/ ). I also had to turn off deployment and reporting, as they were using unix functionality not found in Cygwin ( MSG_WAITALL flag in the socket stuff, and a DT_DIR flag for reporting).
