Installing joe for 64 bit Cygwin
I wasn’t able to find a version of the joe editor packaged for Cygwin-64, and when I went to compile it from source, running configure gave me the error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one.
I was able to overcome this by using the --build=i686-pc-cygwin option. Combining this with the options suggested in the INSTALL file distributed with the source gives a configure command line of:
|
1 |
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-curses --disable-termcap --build=i686-pc-cygwin |
After that I was able to run make and make install normally.
