[BioLib-dev] installation on cygwin

[Pjotr Prins]

If have cygwin running and a version of example and staden that
builds for Perl. Only problem is the test fails to find the dynamic
library. I'll fix that soon. Checkout the cygwin branch:

  cd biolib
  git checkout -b cygwin     # create new branch
  git remote add github git://github.com/pjotrp/biolib.git
  git pull github cygwin     # pull my branch
  ./configure --with-example
  make 
  make test
  ./configure --with-staden
  make
  make test

The latest version of biolib has moved the CMake modules into a
separate repository - that is shared with ASciLib.

The problem you were seeing actually had to do with missing
submodules for git. This should be pulled in with configure:

  git submodule init
  git submodule update

Prerequisites for Cygwin are:

The BioLib build system supports building on Cygwin
(http://www.cygwin.com/). First install Cygwin on your machine
selecting the following packages:

* cmake   (development)
* gcc-g++ (development)
* make    (development)
* swig    (development)
* your preferred language: perl, python and/or ruby

and, optionally:

* git (to fetch the latest repositories)

for ASciLib:

* autoconf (development)
* automake (development)

NOTE: The AffyIO module does not yet work on Cygwin - there is a
dependency on the R libraries. I'll sort that soon.

See also ./doc/WINDOWS.txt for the latest.
