Subject: CVS Emacs cygwin build problem.
Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 23:47:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6CA82FF4-2828-4412-B3E5-7D1234FD2A7D@qwest.net> (raw)

If building CVS Emacs on cygwin platform, a problem may occur, and  
the message looks like:

===

This only happens to cygwin, but not MinGW or Visual Studio build.  
The problem is that the default make mode for make 3.80, which comes  
with the std cygwin distribution, is Unix mode. Hence, the paths of  
directories and files known to make are in Unix form.  During the  
compilation of c code, there is no problem because cygwin gcc  
understand cygwin path. However when bootstrapping the elisp files,  
things are different.

In the emacs/lisp/makefile.w32-in, line 30

lisp = $(CURDIR)

here lisp is set to the current directory. For nmake, or minGW make,  
this $(CURDIR) is window path. For cygwin, this is cygwin unix-like  
path. Because Emacs isn't compiled with cygwin libraries, Emacs  
doesn't understand cygwin path, and hence it cannot load the encoded-kb.

The fix for this is to change lisp=$(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR)).  
Condition like the cygwin test can be added to guard this.

Similar changes is also needed for leim directory.
