Hi Adam,

Thanks for your response. Ok, I've filed the bug.

BTW, for the benefit of anyone else with this problem I found a temporary
workaround.

I edited   "\Tools\Scripts\print-vse-failure-logs" and in line 60, replaced
"scm.find_checkout_root()" with the path to my source directory:
"E:\benson\cygwin\home\Dave\WebKit\Source".

After doing this the build ran without errors.

Cheers,



D.
