Hickling which I subsequently found in the archives: >> './configure' worked fine. >> 'make' got past 'util' but failed in 'doc': >> ------------------------------------------------------------ >> Making all in doc >> ../makeinfo/makeinfo -I. `echo info-stnd.texi | sed 's,.*/,,'` >> info-stnd.texi: No such file or directory >> make[2]: *** [info-stnd.info] Error 2 >> make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 >> make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 >> ------------------------------------------------------------ Mumit responded with >This is what >I did with texinfo-3.12 when I did the initial build (I'm using the >original B20.1 Cygwin1 DLL on an NT 4.0SP3 machine): > $ tar zxvf texinfo-3.12.tar.gz > $ mkdir texinfo-3.12/BUILD > $ cd texinfo-3.12/BUILD > $ ../configure --prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20 \ > --exec-prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32 -v i586-cygwin32 > $ make CC="gcc -I/usr/local/include" >my /usr/local/include contains all sorts of stuff like termcap, ncurses, >zlib, etc. I believe I have most of what Andy Piper distributes. Well, I have a relativley raw egcs-2.91.60 (1.1.1) & haven't dealt with termcap etc. yet. But that wasn't the problem. The problem seems to have been that I first used WinZip to decompress the original tar.gz file. I don't have a clue why this had any adverse effects (the directory structure was intact) but when I used just tar in a bash sell the make worked perfectly! That is, I just did "./configure" then "make all" with no additional settings. Other than using tar vs WinZip everything was identical. (I did need to be root when running make in order for some link to be set.) Anyone have a clue as to why this occurs? I'm no longer going to use WinZip nor WordPad for anything is use with CygWin. I still believe that one of these was responsible for a compiler problem I had earlier where it complained of multiple includes....
