WeeChat under Cygwin

Cygwin IPv6 patch

As of 2007-07-04, Cygwin needs IPv6 patch (even if you use only IPv4) to compile WeeChat. Patch and instructions are available on this page: http://win6.jp/Cygwin/index.html

WeeChat compilation

Compilation is ok with autoconf/automake, and under development with cmake (possible by adding -liconv and -lintl to linker).

Known bugs

Status on 2007-08-01:

  • WeeChat uses blocking server connection under Cygwin, that means WeeChat may hang during server connection. We're working on this problem, which is specific to Cygwin.
  • Plugins status:
    • Aspell, Charset, Python, Ruby: OK
    • Perl: KO (compilation problem)
    • Lua: not tested
