Re: CONTRIB: missing search.h src's


Reini --
On June 6, the newlib folks added the search functions (newlib is the c runtime library that forms part of cygwin1.dll). However, the header files that declare the functions conflict with the recent berkeley-db package -- and the search functions themselves are not "exported" by cygwin1.dll.

You would probably be better off, for now, building cvsps against berk-db instead...until we can get the conflict sorted out. (Geez, it's funny how this one topic came up three times today...synchronicity?)

I just didn't bother to check what cygwin's __P macro does. Maybe it
needs a workaround.

I found several complaints for the missing search.h definitions for the libc on this mailingslist. e.g.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg00378.html

I needed it for CVSps: http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/ (cvs patchsets)
which works out of the box.
