To users and designers!
SOME REASONS WHY "make" gnuwin32 FROM SOURCE STOPS.
===============================================================
I have spent some time building a gnuwin32 b18 system for win95
from source code. This was downloaded on july 1:st from:
ftp://sunsite.fri.uni-lj.si/pub/gnu-win32/gnu-win32-b18/cdk-src/*
in pieces xca - xcj.
My goal is to keep three versions of gnuwin32 available:
b17.1 in directory /cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin
b18 from binaries xaa - xah in /gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin
b18 from source and with needed patches in /usr/local/bin
I simply intend to change autoexec.bat to change the version.
During system generation autoexec pointed at the binary b18.
I first downloaded the binary b18 according to the README.txt
===============================================================
I have not yet run any imported patches. Maybe I should have
done that? I have not yet run the user-tools "make". Unwise?
I will now try to describe the errors that stopped the
"bash$ make" and "bash$ make install" processes and those more
or less deterministic hacks that brougt me to the full installa-
tion. Since this mail is too voluminous, I will first give the
most unique error text for every "make" stop so you can decide
if the rest is of any interest. The patch details follow later.
I am rather convinced that parts of the cases 1,8,10,11, and 12
contain ***TRUE BUGS***. The rest could be due to my lack of
experience and of more complete README texts.
===============================================================
Executing "bash$ make" I got error stops 1-7
1. make: DLLTOOL@: Command not found
make: *** [libtcl7.6.a] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-tcl] Error 2
bash$ ( make exits )
Code that was adjusted to avoid stop at next "make" restart:
.../cdk/tcl/win/Makefile
.../cdk/tk/win/Makefile
( below I use the following shorthand for the text above:
make: DLLTOOL@: Command not found

==============================================================
WORKAROUNDS for 1-12. Some are obvious minor bugs, some are
only corrections to secondary errors where I have no deep under-
standing, some are due to tunneling effects, cosmic radiation
or what?
1. Thanks to Benjamin Sean Scarlet <scarlet@mit.edu> I found
in .../cdk/tcl/win/Makefile and .../cdk/tk/win/Makefile
DLLTOOL = @DLLTOOL@ ( configure has left this line un-
changed from Makefile.in )
DLLTOOL = dlltool <=== 1 is the patch
in .../cdk/tk/win/Makefile there is also:
COMPAT_OBJS = @LIBOBJS@ but it is unused
2. I modified the source. Probably not the utmost method.
in .../cdk/tk/generic/tk.h line 72:
#include <X11/Xlib.h> altered:
#include <../tk/xlib/X11/Xlib.h> <=== 1
in .../cdk/tk/xlib/X11/Xlib.h lines 35 and 42
#include <X11/X.h> altered:
#include <../tk/xlib/X11/X.h> <=== 2
#include <X11/Xfuncproto.h> altered:
#include <../tk/xlib/X11/Xfuncproto.h> <=== 3
3. In .../cdk/gdb/Makefile two variables INSTALLED_LIBS= and
CLIBS= both containing the line:
$(TERMCAP) $(XM_CLIBS) $(TM_CLIBS) $(NAT_CLIBS) -lm \
$(TK) $(TCL) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(X11_LIBS) \
-lX11 \ altered:
$(TERMCAP) $(XM_CLIBS) $(TM_CLIBS) $(NAT_CLIBS) -lm \
$(TK) $(TCL) $(X11_LDFLAGS) $(X11_LIBS) \
-L/.../cdk/tk/xlib -lX11 <=== 1 + 2
( .../ depicts for instance in my case /gnuwin32/b18src )
( original: no "new lines" in $(TERMCAP) above )
4. I copied the files .../cdk/newlib/crt0.c and crt0.o
to .../cdk/libg++/gperf/src/crt0.c and crt0.o <=== 1 + 2
5-7. In .../cdk/libg++/gperf/src/Makefile at the end:
$(TARGETPROG): $(OBJECTS)
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) -lm
was altered to:
$(TARGETPROG): $(OBJECTS) <=== 1
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) \
-L/gnuwin32/b18src/cdk/newlib -lm -lcygwin -lkernel32
From .../b18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/lib/ directory
the files libcygwin.a and libkernel32.a were copied to
.../cdk/newlib/ directory <=== 2 + 3
( .../b18 denotes the binary release directories )
8. I found a really hidden error in:
.../cdk/tcl/win/Makefile.in It showed up that in the line:
exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@ there was an extra blank after
the word "prefix@". This was transformed to an
extra blank after the word "local " in Makefile.
This extra blank had to be removed. <=== 1
Exactly the same defect is seen in:
.../cdk/tk/win/Makefile.in and in the corresponding
.../cdk/tk/win/Makefile <=== 2
9. The script install-sh had to be brought also to the directory
.../cdk/th/win/ for instance from
.../cdk/tcl/win/install-sh <=== 1
10. In .../cdk/tk/win/Makefile the line
for i in $(SRC_DIR)/../library/*.tcl $(SRC_DIR)/../library/*.gif
$(SRC_DIR)/../library/*.xbm $(SRC_DIR)/../library/tclIndex
$(SRC_DIR)/library/../prolog.ps $(SRC_DIR)/winMain.c; \
( original: no new line ) should be spelt: <=== 1
$(SRC_DIR)/../library/prolog.ps $(SRC_DIR)/winMain.c; \
On three locations in the same file at install-man:
cd $(SRC_DIR)/doc; for i in *.1; altered:
cd $(SRC_DIR)/../doc; for i in *.1; \ <=== 2 + 3 + 4
11. In .../cdk/flex/Makefile the line
-cd $(libdir) && $(RANLIB) $(FLEXLIB) is altered:
cd $(libdir) && $(RANLIB) $(FLEXLIB) <=== 1
Reference to an older release:
INSTALL = /CYGNUS/H-I386-CYGWIN32/BIN/install -c is altered:
INSTALL = .../cdk/install-sh -c <=== 2
Setting the link:
cd $(bindir) && ln $(FLEX) $(FLEX)++ gives the hang
of the system. Alter to:
cd $(bindir) <=== 3
But then the link has to be done manually. There was no
problem. Or simply cp flex.exe flex++.exe <=== 4
12. The problem is when copying the contents of:
.../cdk/gcc/include as a part of the installation to:
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-cygwin32/ (no new line)
cygnus-2.7.2-970404/include
Because of Permission denied error I had to discard the
installation method of piping between two tar processes:
# (cd include; \ <=== 1
# tar -cf - .; exit 0) | (cd $(libsubdir)/include; \
# tar $(TAROUTOPTS) - )
Therefore I had to copy between the "include" directories
manually. <=== 2
