I thought that if I sent email to the group, this would start the process of getting some of this back into Cygwin - and make our lives easier here (JPL and the DODS Group) and elsewhere in the long run by having this (possibly) incorporated back into the original distributions for this stuff. . . . in the spirit of the open source movement . . . sharing . . . These include the following for Cygwin 20.1B: 1) RPC Library for Cygwin 20.1B, starting with Corinna's stuff mentioned on the Cygwin Home Page. binaries: http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/rpclib.bin.tar.gz source : http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/rpc-4.0.src.tar.gz Description: Rather extensive modification (mostly) to allow them to to compile and link from either C or C++. Things needed reorganized quite a bit. I'm not sure how much of this got exercised in our port project - but whatever did, works. 2) Hdf4.1r2 for Cygwin 20.1B binaries: http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/hdf.bin.tar.gz Source : http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/hdf.src.tar.gz I simply got the source code and applied a patch from a guy at Goddard that (at some point) had made it for B19. I can't remember making any other mods to this except general clean-up. It was originally from ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/ncsa/. 3) IPC Library and tools for Cygwin 20.1B. http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/WinPort/binaries/cygwinB20IPC.tar.gz. This originally came from http://www.multione.capgemini.fr/tools/pack_ipc/ and (if memory serves) mods were just general clean-up. I'd like to see some of this moved out of dods.jpl.nasa.gov and put under control elsewhere if possible. Someone in the know . . . . please advise.
