cygwin compile needs cl.exe?

Not having compiled much at all under cygwin, I have downloaded it,
installed gcc, and attempted to run the install.sh script.
Unfortunately it fails I think asking for cl.exe during the
SpiderMonkey compile.

I am using Vista64, which is the reference to WINNT6.0-WOW64. Not sure
if that is causing the problem...

Any suggestions?

cl.exe is Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, I guess.

I could find references to similar issue elsewhere on searching a bit.
These instructions might help you in installing mozilla spidermonkey
in cygwin environment:
http://gemal.dk/mozilla/build.html

I haven't got the time to try them yet. Tomorrow, I'll give them a try
on one of my "unused" virtual windows instance.

Thanks Manu,

yes, the details here enabled me to compile it ok:
http://www.mail-archive.com/elinks...@linuxfromscratch.org/msg00486.html

and it's all good - cheers!

Basically, use Linux config and make some minor changes to both config
& makefile. Had to comment out your tar xvf in the installer 2nd time
through so it didn't overwrite my custom files!
