#36 process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, make all-recursive, ...)

[anony-moose]

Using Cygwin + Windows 7, ./configure reports:

"configure: WARNING: Libtool does not cope well with whitespace in `pwd`
configure: Linking to SiSi library in <...>
checking for SiSi's Version.hh... no
configure: error: SiSi header can't be found, please set --with-sisi option."

Upon attempt to make SiSi as per README documentation, gmake reports:

"$ gmake
make all-recursive
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, make all-recursive, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
gmake: *** [all] Error 2"

Following further README instructions, I have downloaded SiSi2.2 and ran "gmake lib":

"$ gmake lib
g++ -c -ansi -Wall -I./include -D__UNIX__ -o src/Version.o src/Version.cc
process_begin: CreateProcess(C:\cygwin\bin\g++.exe, g++ -c -ansi -Wall -I./i
nclude -D__UNIX__ -o src/Version.o src/Version.cc, ...) failed.
make (e=5): Access is denied.
gmake: *** [src/Version.o] Error 5"

If this is a problem with my setup, it would be good to know.

Too many bugs in this one tracker, I'll split them

for problem #1, see
http://old.nabble.com/process_begin%3A-CreateProcess\(NULL,-%22%22,-...)-failed-td16106327.html

known issue with GNU make, try updating your version

I there a difference between Cygwin and MinGW in your build results?

[Carsten Lemmen]

To clarify, in this tracker deal with the following issue

"$ gmake
make all-recursive
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, make all-recursive, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
gmake: *** [all] Error 2"
