    Myeah... Not really surprised here...

    Cygwin is basically a library that makes Windows Posix-compliant. It's decidedly *NOT* a Linux environment and, as such, has limitations to what it can do for you.

    My suggestions to you:

    1. For the love of all that is holy *UPGRADE YOUR OS*. Nobody should be on XP anymore.

    2. Install a virtual machine such as the free VirtualBox, install any flavor of Linux in there and try to get Dump1090 running that way. Note to not insert the RTLSDR dongle until *AFTER* you've booted Linux in the virtual otherwise it probably won't see the device.

    2a. (alternative to 2) Don't use Dump1090 but instead use a Windows program for this. See here.

    Dear friend

    Thanks for the quick reply but very disappointed as well. Not easy to install Linux on my office machine since all are running in windows. I am sorry for asking silly questions but I have to do this for taking my project forward.

    a) Can i compile this using Visual studio in windows environment? I tried this but getting issues because of some unix based header files like pthread.h.

    b) Basically I want to save ADS B data to a basestation database but withou using other softwares like Virtual radar. Is there any small program available which do this? (only saving data to databasr)

    c) I found a version of Dump1090 in github which suits my needs.

    https://github.com/DE8MSH/dump1090-sqlite

    Again I cant compile this due to OS isssue. If any body in this group has compiled this and using this please send me the exe files. I will be very moch obliged if some linus users help me in this. I have been running behind this for the last few days.

    Thanks & regards

    Dear friends

    I have been going through all the posts here to find a way out for my problem. I have downloaded dump1090 from

    https://github.com/antirez/dump1090 and trying to compile it. Since I dont have linux I installed Cygwin in Windows XP machine and ran the make command from there. I am getting error messages as given in the earlier posts.

    pkg-config not found

    lirtlsdr not found etc etc.

    I have followed several tricks explained here and some other sites but could not succeed. I am able to run Dump1090 exe file which comes with the package. Any cahnges I have to make when I run it from Cygwin??

    Please help ..

    Regards

    Manoj
