please tell me how to install Aubit4gl using a source package in windows i.e. I'm looking for windows commands equivalent for ./configure and make install. I can install binary but I particularly want to install from a source package for certain purposes.
Compiling from source on windows is a particularly complicated process involving mingw and collecting all the dependencies etc.
You're much better off grabbing one of the pre-compiled binaries.
I'd be interested to know what the "certain purposes" are that make compiling from source (for windows) a requirement.

I have built a sdcard.img for raspberry pi using Buildroot. When I run apt-get command it throws error "apt-get: command not found". I did not find apt-get/dpkg package to enable in 'make menuconfig' options. Now I'm trying to run cross-compiled opencv program on my Rpi but some shared libraries are missing and I want to install these libraries using apt repository (as I already did it on standard Raspbian Stretch os & program run successfully).
I googled it, there's no solution for Buildroot rasbpbian os. Also I tried downloading and installing .deb packages for apt/apt-get/dpkg, didn't work.
apt-get: command not found
I want to cross-compile a kernel which will have all the necessary packages such as apt/dpkg, bin and lib files. Or for the time being to get the work done need guidance to install apt/dpkg packages on Rpi buildroot os.
Buildroot will never have apt or any package manager. With buildroot you have to decide ahead-of-time what packages you'll want included in your rootfs. Use Raspbian if you want to use apt-get.
robert-orr has already answered your question but I think you are confused about the naming. You cannot rebuild raspbian using buildroot.
Rebuilding raspbian (a debian derivative) is a fairly involved process. You have to implement bootstrapping of a distro (compile a compiler, compile your packages with your compiled compiler, etc.) See Debian Bootstrap for everything needed to create your own distro from source. This is usually done by debian and debian-derivative distributions only.
You can build a simpler image using Buildroot, if that satisfies your needs. Also look at Yocto/OE to see if that satisfies your requirement for building an image from source.
With a Buildroot-generated system, it is not possible to use a package manager, because there is no way to make sure the package binaries will actually work on your system. There are two reasons for this:
Binaries depend on the toolchain (C library, kernel header version, subarchitecture choices, ABI choices). There are hundreds of combinations of these choices possible in Buildroot, it's not possible to build package binaries for all of them. Traditional distros limit the choices to just one per architecture.
How one package is configured affects how other packages can be built. Again, Buildroot offers choices there, while traditional distros choose one (usually enable all features).
In Buildroot, instead of using apt-get, you'd go back to make menuconfig, select the additional packages you want to install, and rebuild the system.
How do you update a pre-installed Haskell package (for example, the System.Directory package) on Windows? I've tried simply telling cabal to install it but it encountered an error while doing so.
The package has a '.configure' script. This requires a Unix compatibility toolchain such
as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
directory-1.2.6.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
I presume there is an easy way of doing this within cabal. Failing this, where do the various files in the .tar.gz available off Hackage for a pre-installed package go? Thanks in advance.
Current versions of ghc and the haskell platform ship with an msys distro. Adding a few lines (in the instructions) to the cabal config file allows cabal to take advantage of this, in after which you can build packages with custom configure scrips (such as network or old-time) just fine.
I am trying to compile some open source libraries in MinGW+MSYS. During the configure phase, I kept seeing some 3rd party libraries are missing.
For now, my solution is to download the source of the missing libraries and follow the GNU build process to compile and install them into my MinGW environment.
Is there any package management system for MinGW+MSYS to install packages easily? Just like apt-get.
I tried the mingw-get for the missing package. But it reports the error below.
mingw-get is the (closest equivalent to apt-get) package manager for MinGW and MSYS. However, it can only manage packages which are actually available for MinGW and/or MSYS, (either because a MinGW developer has built and packaged them, or a member of the MinGW user community has contributed them).
Arbitrarily guessing what packages may be available, and even what their correct package names may be, is unlikely to be productive. Run mingw-get in its GUI mode, (if it's properly installed, just running mingw-get without arguments should start it in this mode), to see a list of packages which are actually available; if you don't see any likely candidates for what you are looking for, then it doesn't (yet) exist. In that case, you will need to either find a non-MinGW alternative build, or build it yourself, from source. (If you choose the latter option, and your build is successful, then you may wish to consider contributing it to MinGW.org).
This works for me as a "package manager".
Install MSYS2. It comes with a package manager called pacman.
the basic idea was, I wanted to generate the call graph in text format for several c files. After googling around for long time, i found cflow, which can deliver everything I want, but it is only runable in Linux or else. Then I began to search how to compile the cflow source files on the web to a exe file. I found MinGW which should be able to do the cross-platform compilation.
After installing the MinGW and the MSYS and running the usual commands "./configure; make; make install", I simply got an error that "mkdir" was not found. Actually. Actually I was wondering whether this is the correct way to compile the whole package.
Does anyone has an idea how I can build the cflow.exe correctly in Windows? If there is a tutorial or something like this, I will be very thankful.

Solution
Please try this Github repository "MinGW + MSYS build of GNU cflow 1.4" (For Windows).
https://github.com/noahp/cflow-mingw
It contains already compiled "cflow.exe",and an instruction about how to build cflow using mingw and msys.
Test
System Environment:Win 8.1 (x64)
1.I tested the "cflow.exe" downloaded from the github repository , and amazingly it worked!
2.I followed the mingw compiling instruction,and it successfully compiled "cflow 1.5".
Command:
bash configure
make
I was able to do that today. I'm using cygwin, after installing gcc, binutils, make and after downloading the gnu cflow.tar.gz, it was as easy as ./configure ; make ; make install.
How can I integrate SCIP with MinGW and Msys?
Whilst you are waiting for a real answer, I can already guide you to this page from the official site on how to build SCIP (see below). For actual integration there is a pointer in the faq:
How do I construct a problem instance in SCIP?
First you have to create a SCIP object via SCIPcreate(), then you
start to build the problem via SCIPcreateProb(). Then you create
variables via SCIPcreateVar() and add them to the problem via
SCIPaddVar(). The same has to be done for the constraints. For
example, if you want to fill in the rows of a general MIP, you have to
call SCIPcreateConsLinear(), SCIPaddConsLinear() and additionally
SCIPreleaseCons() after finishing. If all variables and constraints
are present, you can initiate the solution process via SCIPsolve().
Make sure to also call SCIPreleaseVar() if you do not need the
variable pointer anymore. For an explanation of creating and releasing
objects, please see the doxygen documentation.
NOTE: See the directories "examples/MIPsolver/" and "examples/Queens/" for simple examples
Remarks on Building/Installing under Windows using MinGW (from http://scip.zib.de/doc/html/INSTALL.php)
To build your own Windows binaries under Windows, we recommend using
the MinGW-Compiler with MSYS from mingw.org
First install MSYS, then MinGW to the mingw folder inside the msys
folder. Now you need to install the following packages to the mingw
folder:
- zlib (or use ZLIB=false ZIMPL=false since zlib is needed for ZIMPL and ZIMPL-support in SCIP)
- pcre (or use ZIMPL=false since pcre is needed for ZIMPL and ZIMPL-support in SCIP)
- gmplib (or use ZIMPL=false since gmplib is needed for ZIMPL and ZIMPL-support in SCIP)
(After calling "make clean" in the ZIMPL folder you will also need
flex and bison to remake ZIMPL. We recommend NOT to use "make clean"
inside the ZIMPL-folder if you do not have these packages installed.)
You can download these additional packages as precompiled binaries for
example from: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
(zlib&pcre) http://cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/gmp/ (gmplib) or compile the
source on your own from the project homepages: http://www.zlib.net/
http://www.pcre.org/ http://www.gmplib.org/ (The command "./configure
--prefix=/mingw ; make ; make install" should succeed without problems and installs the packages into the mingw folder.)
Now "make READLINE=false" should be compiling without errors. Please
note that we do NOT support creating the doxygen documentation or
readline-usage under Windows.
Since there are no real symlinks in MSYS, the include and library
files of SoPlex and ZIMPL are actually copied into the
SCIP-lib-folder. When you recompile ZIMPL or SoPlex after compiling
SCIP you have to copy the libraries manually into the SCIP-lib-folder
and recompile SCIP afterwards.
