A bit OT, but I am struggling to get erlang to build on windows, before even getting to couchdb. I have sorted out all the various compiler/path/include crap between windows & cygwin now but am getting an epic fail during ./otp_build configure, in configure erts that has me completely beaten - full story in http://friendpaste.com/31QFPpBNEvIkTBtNSuQF1
./otp_build autoconf runs fine ./otp_build configure is OK until it starts configuring erts [...] checking if we can link wxwidgets programs... yes configure: creating win32/config.status config.status: creating config.mk config.status: creating c_src/Makefile === configuring in erts (/cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04/erts) configure: running /bin/sh /cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts/configure --disable-option-checking '--prefix=/usr/local' '--build=i686-pc-cygwin' 'build_alias=win32' '--host=win32' '--target=win32' 'CC=cc.sh' 'CXX=cc.sh' 'RANLIB=true' 'AR=ar.sh' 'host_alias=win32' 'target_alias=win32' 'ERL_TOP=/cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04/' --cache-file=/cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts/autoconf/win32.config.cache --srcdir=/cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts configure: loading cache /cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts/autoconf/win32.config.cache configure: error: You need to run configure with argument --srcdir=/cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts configure: error: /cygdrive/c/src/otp_src_R13B04//erts/configure failed for erts re-running ./otp_build configure. or just plain configure inside erts, with the --srcdir=... param still doesn't help. I guess this is likely a simple fix? On the upside, I have however got wxwidgets 2.8.11 to build using the free vc2008 express so people don't have to fork out for the full Visual Studio suite. More on that when I can post an updated end-to-end build. cheers Dave
