Greetings.

I am trying to install althttpd on MSYS2 system under windows. I have it installed on cygwin, but I would like to move my setup to msys2. When I run 'make althttpd' I get:

E608313@HOR721242D UCRT64 ~/b/althttpd/althttpd-646adc55f9
$ make althttpd
cc -o mkversion mkversion.c
./mkversion manifest.uuid manifest VERSION >VERSION.h
cc -Os -Wall -Wextra -I. -o althttpd althttpd.c
althttpd.c:325:10: fatal error: syslog.h: No such file or directory
  325 | #include <syslog.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:19: althttpd] Error 1

Any thoughts on how to get this fixed? Thanks.

Edit: it's been removed after testing on Linux and OpenBSD.

Thanks. Downloaded the latest version and tried it: New error pops up:

E608313@HOR721242D UCRT64 ~/b/althttpd/althttpd-07d1ade99f
$ make althttpd
cc -Os -Wall -Wextra -I. -o althttpd althttpd.c
althttpd.c:327:10: fatal error: pwd.h: No such file or directory
  327 | #include <pwd.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:19: althttpd] Error 1

pwd.h is required for Linux. What does msys2 want as an alternative?

Good question. What library is pwd.h part of? Maybe I need to install it.

So, I found the pwd.h file in /usr/include:

jcabrera@jicman UCRT64 ~/b/althttpd/althttpd-07d1ade99f
$ ls -l /usr/include/pwd.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 jcabrera None 2.7K Sep  4 14:28 /usr/include/pwd.h

Where is make expecting it?

Where is make expecting it?

In the compiler's default include path, which normally includes (as it were) /usr/include.

Ignore this. I was using the wrong MSYS2 environment terminal (UCRT64). To get this to compile, use the MSYS terminal environment.

jcabrera@jicman MSYS ~/b/althttpd/althttpd-07d1ade99f
$ make althttpd
cc -Os -Wall -Wextra -I. -o althttpd althttpd.c

worked.
