Compilation of 5.3 on Cygwin under Win2000

["blakjak" <blakjak at singnet dot com dot sg>]

I have faced many problems trying to compile the latest Insight GDB
under Cygwin on the Win2K platform.

I found workarounds for some but I am now stuck and seeking advise.

Here are the problems I found and solved:

1) tk/win/rc

   File cursor5e.cur is corrupt in the CVS update. I found it somewhere
   else on the web and updated my source.

2) itcl/itk/win/rc

   Files cursor3a.cur, cursor54.cur, cursor56.cur, cursor5e.cur and
   cursor76.cur are corrupt in the CVS update. I copied them over from
   my tk/win/rc directory.

3) expect/pty_termios.c

   Produces errors on compile. For my PC configuration lines 135 and
   174 were both accessed resulting in a duplicate declaration of the
   variable 'slave_name'. (Solved by commenting out one of the
   declarations.)

   The second error encountered was that 'slave_name' is always declared
   as a static char* and it therefore cannot be assigned to another
   address. This causes a problem in line 377 :

   if ((slave_name = (char *)ptsname(master)) == NULL || unlockpt(master)) {

   always throws up a compile error saying incompatible types in assignment.

   This can be fixed by removing the static keyword in the declaration of
   slave_name.


Finally the problem I cannot solve:

4) gdb/c-exp.y

   When encountering the line in the makefile:

   /bin/sh ../../src-5.2.1/gdb/../ylwrap "bison -y"
../../src-5.2.1/gdb/c-exp.y  y.tab.c c-exp.tmp --

   I get the following error:

   conflicts:  14 shift/reduce, 20 reduce/reduce

/cygdrive/c/sdk/insight/output/gdb/../../src-5.2.1/gdb/c-exp.y:846.2-847.49:
war
   ning: rule never reduced because of conflicts: typebase: SIGNED_KEYWORD
LONG LONG
   make: *** [c-exp.tab.c] Error 1


Any help or direction you could offer me would be appreciated.
