yeah I finaly used an already compiled windrop. But I dropped the project because it wouldn't run any scripts.

You gave up that easy?? It's not even hard to add a script in to the script folder, read header, put the script name in eggdrop.conf and restart.

if he already has cygwin set up there should be no script for eggdrop that doesnt run on windows (unless its a sys stats script or similar).

Got the same error like the thread starter and i don`t want to give up so fast. Used this page for instructions http://windrop.sourceforge.net/compile16.html

I guess i am not alone with this bug:
http://www.eggheads.org/pipermail/bugs/2006-February/000902.html

Do someone know where the answer to this report can be found?

This is not a solution for my problem. I want to compile it myself this shouln`t be impossible. The forums purpose is to help each other and to solve problems, isn`t it.

As near as I can tell it may be the new release of cygwin that is the culprit. The instructions you have followed are indeed correct.

Note also that I am quite certain I have seen the error (BarkerJr) posted (recently) by a Debian user.

I have never had problems compiling Windrop with version Cygwin DLL 1.5.12.

Ok, i want to try Cygwin DLL 1.5.12.

I just need to install 'Latest Cygwin DLL release version is 1.5.19-4' from http://cygwin.com/ and exchange the dll to your version?

Or do i need to install the hole old version?

Where can i get the old version. I found only the new version more then enugh times.

I'd have to search my DVD's/CD's; I may have a copy of the original. I wouldn't hold my breathe ... De Kus could still have that older installer.

I believe the problem is that you installed Tcl. It's critical that you follow the instructions to the word. Don't ask me why, but the current versions of Cygwin aren't easy use with Eggdrop as they were last year.

You do have to install Make, too.
