Configure Hydra-7.4.2 on Windows 7 using Cygwin

Question

I am trying to configure THC Hydra 7.4.2 on my Windows 7 laptop with Cygwin. I installed Cygwin using setup.exe, I have selected devel and MinGW pakages.

When I execute ./configure it is fine.. although some missing modules were mentioned. Then I was prompted 'now type "make"'.

When I do this I get the following error message:

PC@Z-PC ~/hydra/hydra-7.4.2
$ ./configure

I am not sure whats wrong with it.. I tried reinstalling Cygwin with all packages (after huge download time) and also with default packages but none of it works.. any help appreciated..

Answer 1

Well it seems there aren't anyone with relevant experience on this site. I am bit disappointed with how this site work.. If I ask simple question then people will jump for negative votes and if I ask something serious then I would not even receive single comment.

Anyways, I am still not sure what is wrong with "Hydra-7.4.2", note that I have installed complete cygwin package and still getting "make" error while compiling hydra.

For sake of testing I installed and compiled "Hydra-6.1"... and luckily it worked! Hence if anyone is getting same error then try moving to previous version, or if u crack this out then please share the details.

Answer 2

I just tried Hydra 7.6 on Cygwin. It disables the usage of PostgreSQL, configure says:

Checking for Postgres (libpq.so, libpq-fe.h) ...
                                         ... DISABLED - postgres is buggy in Cygwin at the moment

I guess there's the answer to your problem. It's buggy.
