Thomas I had this same problem on a different build. For me the solution was to use mingw32-make.exe from MinGW tools and rename and replace the one in CygWin. If you have DOS paths anywhere in the build system the make in CygWin will not understand them.
Hope that helps. \Bob -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Porschberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 September 2006 15:10 To: xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org Subject: building xalan on cygwin Hi, I try to build Xalan from Xalan-C_1_10_0-src.tar on cygwin. (The Windows binary is not first choice for me because is does not understand UNIX paths) I set XALANCROOT, ran ./runConfigure -p cygwin -c gcc -x g++ Looks fine. But if I start make I get: $ make make -C src/xalanc all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xml-xalan/c/src/xalanc' Preparing the directory structure for a build ... mkdir -p ../../obj mkdir -p ../../lib mkdir -p ../../bin make -C Utils prepare make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xml-xalan/c/src/xalanc/Utils' Makefile:71: *** multiple target patterns.
