[squid-users] Errors Compiling Squid Proxy on Windows using Cygwin

[Rafael Akchurin]

Hello Russel, Amos, all list members,

The 3.5 compilation instructions are at https://docs.diladele.com/howtos/build_squid_windows/index.html
And we are still planning to allocate task forces to compile Squid 4 for Cygwin after initial failures ☹

@Russel - see our project at - fork it if you have patches/improvements! At https://github.com/diladele/squid-windows

Best regards,
Rafael Akchurin
Diladele B.V.

Your Squid is detecting the existence of Windows OS headers and trying to build a helper which has bugs in your environment.

This type of problem is why the Diladele Cygwin instructions (and other OS cross-building) list the helpers to build explicitly whereas native builds can just use the auto-detect by ./configure. Doing the same for your build will both avoid this issue and reduce the size of your Squid build.


Please open a bug report in our bugzilla about this so it does not get forgotten. I am not aware of anyone working on Windows bugs right now so no ETA on when it might get fixed.
