Here's the way to correct it (theoretically): Around line 337 of src/config/abi_defs.mk change: DIST = $(ABI_ROOT)/dist OUT = $(ABI_ROOT)/src to ifeq ($(OS_NAME), WIN32) DIST = $(ABI_XX_ROOT)/dist OUT = $(ABI_XX_ROOT)/src else DIST = $(ABI_ROOT)/dist OUT = $(ABI_ROOT)/src endif Should this work? yeah. Does it? no. When I perform the command: make ABI_BUILD_VERSION=0.7.10 distribution I get the error: assertion "*p2 != '\0'" failed: file "/src/make/read.c", line 866 0 [sig] make 22079 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to make.exe.stackdump Does anyone else who tries this change on cygwin 1.1.2 get this error? I would appreciate any leads that people can give me. Help!! -Jeremy (who's really getting tired of cygwin).
