Bootstrapping Emacs-CVS on Cygwin

Bootstrapping Emacs-CVS on Cygwin

[Angelo Graziosi]

For the sake of completeness, I want to flag that bootstrapping Emacs
22.1.50 20070726-cvs (on Cygwin), in the build log, I have noted this:

========================================
...
	else true; fi
Copying etc/DOC-22.1.50.1 to
/tmp/emacs/inst/usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/22.1.50/etc ...
DOC-22.1.50.1
rm: cannot remove `DOC': No such file or directory
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

make: [install-arch-indep] Error 1 (ignored)
                          ^^^^^^^^^
unset CDPATH; \
...
========================================

This happens while running 'make install...'.

Perhaps it should move instead of copy 'etc/DOC-22.1.50.1' or it should
remove 'DOC-22.1.50.1' instead of 'DOC'.

I any case, the error is ignored and does not seem to have a negative
effect on the bootstrap!



Cheers,

   Angelo.

Looks like this is on purpose, as this comment in Makefile.in says:

    ## Note that we copy DOC* and then delete DOC
    ## as a workaround for a bug in tar on Ultrix 4.2.

The relevant line of the install-arch-indep commands is this:

    if test "`echo DOC-*`" != "DOC-*"; then rm DOC; fi

and in your case, there's DOC-22.1.50.1, so Make tries to "rm DOC".

Maybe we should use "rm -f" to avoid the error message?

Probably, yes!
