Corinna: Cygwin 3.5 works fine when tested with the lighttpd test suite.


For others who might try something similar on their own repos:

How to test Cygwin 3.5 using github actions
-------------------------------------------

Starting with:
  https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin-install-action/
  (Thanks Adam Dinwoodie, Jon Turney, Konrad Gräfe)

I added to my Windows-Cygwin job:

      - name: Update
        shell: powershell
        run: |
          # (https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin-install-action/blob/master/action.yml)
          Invoke-WebRequest https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe -OutFile C:\setup.exe
          # because setup is a Windows GUI app, make it part of a pipeline to make
          # PowerShell wait for it to exit
          & C:\setup.exe -qgnO -t | Out-Default

Hey Jon, would you accept a pull request to add an option to add -t to
the call to setup.exe in cygwin-install-action?

For lighttpd, I added the above to
https://github.com/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/blob/master/.github/workflows/pr.yml#L190

The whole lighttpd Windows-Cygwin job currently looks like this:

  Windows-Cygwin:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    env:
      CYGWIN: winsymlinks:native
    steps:
      - run: git config --global core.autocrlf input
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: cygwin/cygwin-install-action@master
        with:

            cmake meson ninja scons

          Invoke-WebRequest https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe -OutFile C:\setup.exe
          # because setup is a Windows GUI app, make it part of a pipeline to make
          # PowerShell wait for it to exit
          & C:\setup.exe -qgnO -t | Out-Default
      - name: Compile and Test
        #shell: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --noprofile --norc -o igncr -eo pipefail '{0}'
        shell: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -o igncr -eo pipefail '{0}'
        run: |
          set -e
          export PATH=/usr/bin:$(cygpath ${SYSTEMROOT})/system32
          # lighttpd-specific build and test commands:
          export NO_PAM=1 NO_UNWIND=1 NO_WOLFSSL=1
          cd "${{github.workspace}}" && scripts/ci-build.sh autobuild
