Re: Problems trying to make 2.5.1--i686-pc-cygwin [REPOST from -winnt]

David, have you recently updated all Cygwin packages? You don't

anything about this in your message.
If you look at the error messages from 'ln', they simply say that the
target files already exist. If they do, then the error message is
correct.
I don't understand why /usr/bin/install isn't used instead for these
targets. Presumably this is more robust than 'ln -s'. When I run
./configure --prefix=... --with-sound=none
make
make install
on xemacs-21.5.1.tar.bz2, the make commands look like this:
for file in gnudoit gnuattach rcs-checkin ; do \
(cd .. && /d/starksb/src/xemacs-21.5.1/lib-src/installexe.sh /usr/bin/install
-c /d/starksb/src/xemacs-21.5.1/lib-src/${file} /usr/local/xemacs-21.5.1/bin/${file}) ; \
done
I'll check CVS next.
Of course, I should have checked CVS *first*. Sorry.
I now also have this at the 'make' stage:

gzip-el.sh

But in my case it succeeds. Again, I suspect you simply had the
targets leftover from a previous 'make'. I leave it to the experts
whether that's user error, or whether 'ln -s' should become 'ln -f
-s'.
Unfortunately, my own build attempt now fails at the 'make install' stage:
Installing utilities run internally by XEmacs.

Somehow 'installexe.sh' didn't get copied. I'll have to look into
that.
