Notes for building on Windows (Mingw/Cygwin)
-------------------------------------------
Under Mingw environment, you can only complie the library, it's `libnghttp2-X.dll` and `libnghttp2.a`.
If you want to compile the applications(`h2load`, `nghttp`, `nghttpx`, `nghttpd`), you need to use the Cygwin environment.
Under Cygwin environment, to compile the applications you need to compile and install the `libev` first.
and second, you need to undefine the macro \_\_STRICT\_ANSI\_\_, if you not, the functions `fdopen`, `fileno` and `strptime` will not available.
the simple command like this:
export CFLAGS="-U__STRICT_ANSI__ -I$libev_PREFIX/include -L$libev_PREFIX/lib"
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
make
If you want to compile the applications under `examples/`, you need to remove or rename the `event.h` from libev's installation, because it conflicts with libevent's installation.
