That's a good point. The most telling numbers are probably
CYGWIN_VERSION_DLL_MAJOR and _MINOR. The major/minor numbers
of the installation used for AFNI's build are 1003 and 22
(that is ..._MAJOR is 1003 and ..._MINOR is 22).
This information can be gotten by entering the following
command at the cygwin shell prompt:
grep CYGWIN_VERSION_DLL /usr/include/cygwin/version.h
The top two matches are probably the MAJOR and MINOR version
numbers.
----
At any rate, if indeed this is a problem, then users will
have to compile the cygwin binaries themselves. We will most
likely offer only one package of cygwin binaries.
Two small notes:
1. If AFNI's cygwin binaries do not work on a system with
major/minor numbers that exceed 1003/22, then I can upgrade
this cygwin distribution (which may leave others with older
versions in the dark).
2. Compiling the AFNI package on a machine with all of the
necessary Cygwin components is very easy. I can include
instructions to that effect in HowTo 00 if there is interest.
So, is there interest?
