Question: is cygwin a supported platform? #21180
Comments
I am somewhat concerned that the windows development environment for gecko is using cygwin, and so dropping support might break that. |
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe is an installer for that environment if we need to test. Full instructions at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites |
@jgraham That says Mozilla uses MSYS, so not cygwin. I strongly suspect cygwin support is irrelevant. |
Mozilla docs include:
So yeah, I would agree that looks like Cygwin is not required for Gecko on Windows. Let's make this official (though I don't think it requires an rfc). I'm cc-ing the major folks involved below (feel free to add people) - if nobody objects by next Monday let's say Cygwin is not supported. |
No replies over 10 days later, so I'm closing this. @ricea - feel free to consider cygwin unsupported. |
I'd like to drop cygwin support from pywebsocket, but I won't do that if cygwin is officially supported by web platform tests.
