Libtorrent make fails in Cygwin/XP

[anonymous]

When attempting to compile and install as per instructions (​http://projects.cyla.homeip.net/rtwi/wiki/rTorrentOnWindows), compilation of libtorrent fails. I have had to change the PKG_CONFIG_PATH ($ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/) so that sigc++ would be found. The results of ./configure and make follow:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-mincore (Completes without incident)

altough I can't reproduce the error (tried a clean install on windows vista), it looks like an ipv6 problem (which is not supported by Cygwin atm)

what OS are you running Cygwin on? what are your network settings?

Same thing happens here. I'm on xp sp3.

Ignore my previous comment.

When installing libtorrent, I get an error when doing "./configure --disable-mincore". The error says "No package 'sig++-2.0' found".

Oh, and I'm on Xp sp3:)

try

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

(see ​Compilation Help at libTottent page, there's a similar error about libTorrent) also check, if pgk-config is properly installed (last time Cygwin forgot half the packages i selected to install)
