Has anyone successfully copmiled asss on cygwin? I've got python installed, it gets past that part, but there are some problems with 'conflicting types' for things in pthread.h, as well as some other 'conflicting types' in winsock.h when compiling.

I'm also trying to get the precompiled windows version to work, and even after compiling external.dll with VC++ I can't get past the 'Error in loading module 'external:billing_ssc'. I'd like to get it to be able to connect to ssc billing.

Grelminar said to me that he had gotten cygwin to work.

You usually have to do some fiddling with the headerfile arrangments and little things like that.

Yup, everything compiles just fine on cygwin. I think your problem is that you're trying to use a windows source distribution. Don't. The whole point of cygwin is that you can compile stuff in a unix-like environment. Just download the latest source from my site and try that. The newest version has new makefile magic that detects which os you're using and adjusts flags based on that.

Ok, I just managed to get everything compiled and workin using asss-1.1.6.. had to comment out 'int PASCAL gethostname(char*,int);' in cygwin's winsock.h, and remove strcasestr from quickfix.c because apparently it isn't in cygwin's string.h

Also had to download and compile berkeley db instead of just downloading the cygwin binary

SSCentral has discontinued site hosting. I believe catid has moved his merv bot site. The win32 version he did for a project myself, eight182 and him where working on was released on his site due to the fact so many people made requests for it.

New Address:http://catid.ssihosting.com/

ASSS binaries for win32: http://catid.ssihosting.com/files/asss.rar
