Hi, i'm trying to build moc stable for Cygwin but I get the following error during the build:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/Phil Turner/moc-2.3.3/decoder_plugins/speex'
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/Phil Turner/moc-2.3.3/decoder_plugins'

Whilst I have a bit of experience building programs for linux, when it comes to errors during the build I generally dont have a clue!. any help would be great.

PS: I am trying to build it for Cygwin because I cannot find a suitable alternative for windoze.

I don't think MOC will work on cygwin because no sound output method that could work on Windows is implemented. Everything else is probably portable.

About the error: try replacing MSG_DONTWAIT with 0, it should work. Even if you compile MOC, you could run it only with the null output driver without hearing any sound.

Thanks for your help. Replacing MSG_DONTWAIT with 0 worked ok but when it comes to running moc, I get an error about no plugins being loaded. There seems to be some sort of limited sound support for cygwin, but probably not enough for what I want. I think I will need to explore other options.

BTW I do use moc on "slax", and I thankyou for an excellent programme.

FYI CygWin supports OSS, including read, write, and most ioctls.

If you ever want to give it a try, you might find the following files useful, from a winsup-src-* snapshot at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

winsup/cygwin/fhandler_dsp.cc
winsup/testsuite/winsup.api/devdsp.c

(I'm not asking for it, I don't even have a Windows box.)
