Re: Help!Unable to compile 1.3.22-1 sources


I had tried using the same steps mentioned below except that I didn't get the mingw separately.
I am able to build w32api.
It is failing in winsup/utils for me.

Hmm. When I try building 1.3.22-1 from the tarball, I get the rather
perplexing error message:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/w32api/Makefile',
    needed by `/lib/'.  Stop.

But I can't figure out why make wants to make /usr/lib/w32api/Makefile.


I suggest the following workaround. I haven't tested it, but intuition suggests it should work. Here it is:

tar jxvf path/to/cygwin-1.3.22-1-src.tar.bz2
cd cygwin-1.3.22-1/winsup/
tar jxvf path/to/w32api-2.3-1-src.tar.bz2
mv w32api-2.3-1 w32api
tar jxvf path/to/mingw-runtime-2.4-1-src.tar.bz2
mv mingw-runtime-2.4-1 mingw
cd ../..
mkdir cygbuild
cd cygbuild
../cygwin-1.3.22-1/configure
make



Max.
