Hi Dave, I created a defect report for the make issue we discussed on Wednesday. I wasn't sure how serious to make it, minor or major. To me, something that amounts to an inconvenience but still works without failing is minor, something that is broken and won't run without a manual intervention work around is major, so I labeled it as major.
Do you want to do anything about the other Cygwin issue, the mixed file paths thing where "shell cygwin -m" had to be changed to "shell Cygwin -u"? -will -----Original Message----- From: David Bertoni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 3:41 PM To: xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org Subject: Re: building xalan on cygwin Will Sappington wrote: > Thanks Dave, that did the trick.

I'm not sure why this was done, or if it's easy to fix, but it certainly is broken. For now, here's what you can do: 1. specify the prefix you want as a configure option to the runConfigure script: ./runConfigure -p cygwin -c gcc -x g++ -C --prefix=/cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package 2. Do the build (although you don't have to rebuild if you don't want to, since this won't affect the binaries. 3. Open Makefile.incl and search for the prefix you specified. You'll see something like this: prefix = /cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package/ 4. Just remove the leading "/" from the definition: prefix = cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package/ That should take care of the problem. Can you please create a Jira defect so we can track this issue? You can follow this link to create it: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC Dave
