Subject: newt-0.52.16 patches for Cygwin
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
X-IsSubscribed: yes

I have been wanting to write some python using the newt (snack)
module, so I managed to get it to compile pretty cleanly with some
minor patching.  Is it appropriate for me to submit patches here for
whoever else might have a need?  Or should I try to contact the
maintainer?

This is the tarball I started with:
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/n/e/newt/newt-0.52.16.tar.gz

I have a patch for the snackmodule.c to allow runtime initializing (4
lines of code).  Then I needed a bootstrap module (I'm not sure why I
needed it if it wasn't needed in linux, perhaps I just don't know how
that works in other environments).  Finally a patch to the Makefile.in
to make it work with Cygwin and install the bootstrap python module.

The only other thing to know is when running configure with all the
standard Cygwin parameters, I needed to --disable-nls.

Oh, and it has a dependency on slang.

If patches are appropriate here, let me know and I'll post what I have.

Thanks,

Mike
