May I suggest that you post here a complete transcript of your build
attempts?  As nt/INSTALL tells you, cp.exe, rm.exe, and mv.exe are
required for the build, but sh.exe is not.  nt/configure.bat will tell
you what is needed and what is merely checked and marked as
nonexistent.

There are non-Cygwin ports of cp, rm, and mv.  One place to look is on
the GnuWin32 site.

If you want a Cygwin build of Emacs, you will have to use the CVS
sources.  Only the current development version supports a Cygwin
build out of the box.

Alternatively, I'm told that there's a prebuilt binary in the Cygwin
archives, which you could use.

Weird, but so did I today. I can no longer repeat the
conditions that caused me to enter this "minor build bug".
Sorry for all the noise.

OK, here is a build attempt with very recent Cygwin tools
(make 3.80, gcc 3.4.4, bash 3.00.16(11),etc.:

------------------------------------------

Knowing that I've never built an Emacs (usable in a 
standalone manner) with Cygwin tools, I switch to a pure
Windoze build (Windoze shell, nmake, VC7 or something...):


-------------------------------------------

D:\Martins\emacs-21.4\nt>configure.bat
Checking for 'cp'...
'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
You need 'cp' (the Unix file copy program) to build Emacs.



-------------------------------------------------

OK, so I need "cp". Having Cygwin installed, of course
I add a path to Cygwin's cp. And today it then builds
fine. Previously it didn't. Sorry, can't repeat it anymore.

Actually, it doesn't seem to mention them, but that's

I know there are, but I'm quite happy with Cygwin's.

Well, I'm all set for now, but I may try it next time, if
there ever is a next time for a Windoze Emacs for me.

That one is OK if I also use X, not too comfortable in a shell,
and generally a standalone Emacs for Windoze feels better.

Well, thanks for all your help. Sorry I can't now reproduce
the problem anymore. I even tried mixed builds thinking
that maybe some lack of "make clean" caused this situation
to become possible. But I can't repeat it at all, while
previously I couldn't get out of it (w/o moving the tree).

minor windoze build bug

[Martins Krikis]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 756 bytes --]

Dear GNU,

Happened to stumble on this one; reporting to leave a record of how
one can get around it:

Was doing a windoze build of 21.4a, using nmake, VC and a bit of
cygwin. MS build tools were on C-drive but Emacs sources (and Cygwin,
if it matters) on D-drive. temacs.exe got built OK, but couldn't open
"the doc string file":

Finding pointers to doc strings...
Opening doc string file: no such file or directory, ../etc/DOC-X
NMAKE : fatal error U1077:
'"D:\Martins\emacs-21.4.old\src/obj-spd/i386/temacs.exe"' : return
code '0xffffffff'
Stop.

Quick fix for this problem: move Emacs sources somewhere on C-drive, build
there. Afterwards everything can be moved back to D-drive and the install
step can be done from there.

Thanks,

  Martins Krikis

Thank you for your report.

Others succeeded building Emacs with MSVC without moving the tree.  I
suspect that your problem happens because of some bad interaction
between NMAKE and that ``bit of Cygwin''.  I suggest to make sure you
use combinations of tools which are described in nt/INSTALL as
successful.
