[gecode-users] GecodeJ and 64 bits

[Jorge Ivory Castaño]

It may be a silly question since I am still a beginner. I tried to install
gecodej in Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits and I couldn't.
So as you offered to help me there's what i have done:
So far I have installed cygwin with all options on C:\cygwin
I downloaded gecode 2.1.1 and unzipped it to C:\cygwin\gecode-2.1.1
I entered cygwin and in /gecode-2.1.1 i used ./configure CC="gcc
-mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin"
I got this output:
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo.jpg"/> <br>
Then i use make
I got this output:
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo1.jpg"/> <br>
I use make install and
I got this output:
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo2.jpg"/> <br>
then I download ant and java, I install ant on cygwin and java on windows,
when I write java or ant commands
I got this output:
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo3.jpg"/> <br>
So far so good, everything seems to be working.
Then I downloaded gecodej 2.1.1 and unzipped it to C:\cygwin\gecodej-2.1.1
but when I tried to configure it
I got this output:
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo4.jpg"/> <br>
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is a variable in Windows or in cygwin? Where it should point
to? How do I set it up correctly?
make install isn't supossed to do this automatically? Did I miss a step?
my path variable is:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\cygwin\Gecode\bin;C:\cygwin\ant\bin;C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
as you can see in the screenshot below
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo6.jpg"/> <br>
Gecode examples are working as you can see at
<br>    <img src="http://www.eldesparchecali.com/images/Dibujo5.jpg"/> <br>
I dont know what I have to do in order to get gecodej working, would you
please help me?
