> Thanks for including the patches. I have added a Cygwin compilation
> description in the Gambas Wiki [0]. The description depends on those
> patches being available in Gambas 3.9.2.
>
> One other thing:
> unixODBC is not available in the Cygwin repository right now. But there
> is iODBC available, which Gambas builds with on Cygwin with a patch [1]
> applied. This patch does not change configure.ac to search for libiodbc,
> however on Cygwin libodbc is libiodbc, so it also links. For this reason
> the Cygwin people would probably reject submitting unixODBC to the repo,
> even if defining the packages as conflicting. And it is quite a heavy
> package that I do not want to be responsible for.
>
> So please also include the patch [1] to enable me to define
> gambas3-gb-db-odbc Cygwin package. This is the final patch for Cygwin in
> Gambas 3.9.2. If you want, you can tune configure.ac to also detect
> libiodbc on other Unixes, alternatively to libodbc.
>
> The last remaining package to build would be gambas3-gb-db-sqlite2, but
> as this is deprecated and SQLite 2 not developed for many years, I will
> not try to submit it to the Cygwin repo.
