RE: New Cygwin: "commands commence before first target"

[jorg dot schaible at db dot com]

For me make 3.79 builds fine just OOTB (OK, I followed the README.W32 and changed manually config.h.W32 for Cygwin compilation).
Just extract into a binary mounted drive, change config.h.W32, run ./configure, run make and make install.
Be sure to have /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your path and delete the make*.info files from /usr/info to get the correct manuals of /usr/local/info.

I've found one bug, that could be related with the new eol handling:

%.o: %.cxx
     @echo Compiling $<
     $(CC) -o $@ $<

After a line beginning with @ all following lines are treated alike, i.e. you may not see the line calling the compiler

OTH version 3.77 has other bugs, solved with 3.79 e.g.

-include another.mak

The inclusion should be ignored, if another.mak could not be build. Version 3.76.x handles this right, 3.77 is broken, 3.79 is correct again.

Greetings,
Jörg

I don't know what the official answer is, but 3.79 won't build under
win32 (at least for the NMakefile method) without a little hacking of
the sources. Specifically:

*** main.c~     Thu Feb 24 16:00:20 2000

  int db_level = 0;

--- 141,147 ----
  /* Print debugging info (--debug).  */

  static struct stringlist *db_flags;
! /* static BK 2000-05-25 Must be global */ int debug_flag = 0;

  int db_level = 0;
