I can configure and make successfully with the old sh.exe and the "broken MSYS-1.0.DLL for version 1.0.5". In fact, any version of the MSYS-1.0.DLL works okay, as long as I am using the old sh.exe. With the sh.exe from v1.0.5., no version of MSYS-1.0.DLL works correctly with configure and make. > > > Provide a test case please. > > > > Easy. Try to configure and build gcc 2.95.3.x with it.

Hmm ... are you using the pristine GNU sources or the Mingw/Cygwin "special" sources? If the latter, I would be surprised, because configure fails to create auto-host.h and config.h here. Did you try to make after configuring? Everything seems okay after configuring (but it isn't when you try to make). BTW: I sent an email to you yesterday - I get exactly the same problems (with "-D", etc) when I try to compile gpc under Cygwin, using Cygwin's bash. So the problem seems to be a Cygwin bash problem. But does it only show up when trying to build gpc? Perhaps. But why does the sh.exe from v1.0.4. get around the problem? >Get the snapshot from the msys package and try again. I have tried this too many times already :-( Best regards, The Chief -------- Prof. Abimbola A. Olowofoyeku (The African Chief) web: http://www.bigfoot.com/~African_Chief email: Afr...@bi... |

Get the snapshot from the msys package and try again. Earnie. P.S.: If that doesn't work, I'll have another snapshot up tomorrow. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com |
