Subject: cygwin missing madvise
Hi Leon-

It turns out that cygwin was missing the madvise routine but
had implemented the posix_madvise.  The latest cygwin DLL
has that alias in it but if you wish to build successfully with
older cygwin releases, the problem can be fixed by a

  #define madvise posix_madvise

Cheers, and thanks for the 0.47 update for the sys_map fix.

I see. Quite frankly I have no idea how to detect the difference the presence or absence of madvise. I suppose hard-coding for the cygwin version would be ok, but I'd need someone to figure out exactly when it started working. Show quoted text

The cygwin madvise is their already existing posix_madvise. There was discussion on their list about it. I recommend a blanket #define and the problem will eventually go away as the cygwin versions advance. Special casing by version would not gain anything here. --Chris Show quoted text

This was fixed in 0.48. Leon
