Hello. I have been having a lot of problems compile AbiWord recently, but hopefully someone can help me, because I am out of ideas :-)
Just after 0.99.2 was released I upgraded CygWin and installed the Microsoft .net SDK. This should not have ruined anything, but since _all_ compiles of AbiWord failed after this, I am a bit suspicious... I now get a lot of different errors I have never seen before: While checking expat: The host system is detected as i686-pc-cygwin and the linker as GNU ld, which seems a bit strange to me, but might be right. and is anyone seeing this checking for ANSI C header files... grep: conftest.out: No such file or directory no checking for fcntl.h... grep: conftest.out: No such file or directory yes checking for unistd.h... grep: conftest.out: No such file or directory yes or this C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\VC98\INCLUDE\stdlib.h(71) : warning C4114: same type qualifier used more than once C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\VC98\INCLUDE\stdlib.h(71) : warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'unsigned int ' when no variable is declared While building psiconv: Lots of bash.exe ../libtool --mode=compile cl.exe -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -W3 -nologo -GF -Gy -MD -DWIN32 -Zm200 -O2 -Ob1 -D_X86_ -Dvsnprintf=_vsnprintf -Dsnprintf=_snprintf -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -c -o dummy.lo `test -f dummy.c || echo './'` dummy.c cygpath: can't convert empty path cl.exe -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -W3 -nologo -GF -Gy -MD -DWIN32 -Zm200 -O2 -Ob1 -D_X86_ -Dvsnprintf=_vsnprintf -Dsnprintf=_snprintf -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -c dummy.c dummy.c While linking zlib: fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler generated file: 'C:\Cygwinabi\abi\abi\src\WIN32_1.3.10_i386_OBJ\obj\zlib\adler32.obj': No such file or directory I can get past this with an ugly hack to the TRANSFORM_TO_DOS_PATH macro. But then it dies in libiconv: localcharset.c(34) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'strings.h': No such file or directory It probably tries to use strings.h since the check fails to find string.h - only string.h does exists in the INCLUDE path. I have tried to reinstall CygWin and messing around a bit, but that didn't help. Any ideas? If anyone is interested, the full build log is at http://www.niksbiks.dk/build.log - Nikolaj
