Hello!
Background: I miss DirectX header files. Slightly patched headers from
the Wine project works fine for me, so I submitted those some time ago.
However, they were rejected due to licensing issues (Wine is LGPL,
w32api is Public Domain). I then asked nicely if the Wine developers
would be so kind as to release the headers under a less restirictive
license. Not surprisingly, I didn't receive responses from all
contributors so that was a dead end.
I then created a directx-headers tarball available here:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~peda/directx-headers/
These files work fine for me (and others).
The next step IMHO is to integrate this package in the Cygwin release.
I have tried to follow the instruction and created these files:
setup.hint, directx-headers-0.02-1-src.tar.bz2 and
directx-headers-0.02-1.tar.bz2. They can all be found here:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~peda/directx-headers/Cygwin/
setup.hint looks like this:
category: Devel Libs
requires:
sdesc: "Header files for DirectX"
ldesc: "Header files for DirectX development adapted from Wine."
Maybe it should require w32api?
Cheers,
Peter
