(C++) How to port CLN from Ubuntu to Windows

 

I had to be able to compile the CLN library from Ubuntu to Windows.

 

 

 

 

Unfinished attempt: Copy-past built source to Windows

 

Zip all files from the Ubuntu terminal:

 

---

zip -r clnsrc.zip /usr/include/cln

 

Copy the zip to a windows computer. Compiling goes fine. Linking fails, with the (expected) undefined reference to cln::cl[something].

Failed attempt: build CLN in Cygwin

 

Build fails.

 

 

 

 

 

Failed attempt: just unzip

 

One cannot just download the source from the CLN homepage and unzip: the library must be built.
