Hi there,
I’m working on packaging PyMuPDF for Cygwin, and found that it tries to build with Visual Studio instead of a compiler like Clang or GCC that works with Cygwin. Is there a way I can specify a compiler to use? I’d rather not have to patch source files to do this but if I need to then I will, but just asking in case there’s something I’ve missed in the documentation.
Best,
Hamish

Welcome to the forum! Seems like we can track this conversation here for the details on this:
Good luck!
We could do, but that’s a separate issue, and it’s for PyMuPDF, whereas this problem is a MuPDF problem as far as I can tell. Is that definitely the best place for it? Or should I open another issue there?
Apologies - I hadn’t appreciated the nuances here!
For this kind of question I would advise trying the #mupdf channel on Join our Discord because that is generally where the engineers hang out the most at the moment.
No worries!
Okay, thanks, will do.
For anyone else reading this, the answer I got was just that Cygwin isn’t supported, so I guess I’m on my own. I’ll work on this package at some point when I have some more time and a more pressing need to get it working.
