Hi,

Has anyone already attempted to compile xymongrep as a standalone
windows program under MinGW or some such?  I am looking to add
externals under BBWin and have these externals configured from
etc\hosts.cfg to make them as much like native Unix extensions as I
can.

I'd guess that you could easily compile it with Cygwin. I have built 
the "xymon" tool in such an environment.

That is good to know as my longstop, but I was after something less
intrusive, I presume a Cygwin installation will require a bunch of
libraries to be installed and all i need is a standalone xymongrep.exe

It requires 2 DLL's. I don't know if MinGW supports the Unix socket API, 
but if it does then compiling it with MinGW should work fine.

Looks like MinGW is not the way to go....

http://mingw-users.1079350.n2.nabble.com/sys-socket-h-td3255232.html

Other packages I'll be compiling need sys/socket.h, ...

Then you will not be compiling them with MinGW, unless you put in the
effort, and *port* them to use the WinSock API instead.  There is no
sys/socket.h among MinGW deliverables, nor will there be.

Does anyone have a Howto of any sort for building xymon under Cygwin then?

Thanks
