After this sat for 5 days on -winnt without any response, I'm reposting it
where it should have gone at once. I do not at all understand the workings
of the configuration tools, so I don't make any sense of the error.

Andy,
Why recommend that /bin/sh be bash rather than ash? If you do that, I
would expect configure/make to be considerably slower. As long as
xemacs does not require /bin/sh to have:
job control
getopts
exported functions
then there is no reason to use bash. Ash omits these features
precisely in order to be leaner and faster. (Of course, if xemacs
ever requires these features, then your advice will be correct.)
I just built 21.5.1 under (latest) Cygwin with no problems. (I
avoided the linuxplay problem with '--with-sound=none'.) This is on
NT4/SP4, and my /bin/sh is ash. I'll check CVS next.
David, have you recently updated all Cygwin packages? You don't say
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.

David (Cygwin FAQ maintainer)

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

Some responses interleaved.
I reconfigured by renaming sh.exe to ash.exe and making sh.exe a symlink
which, at the moment, points to bash.exe. I still fail at the same step
with about as little information. A complete log of my latest attempt is
attached. I agree it shouldn't be necessary: I think the configuration
tools intentionally avoid some "advanced" features ( if I understand the
Goat book ). If our "configure.in" includes features that aren't supported
by every "sh" then we probably should look at the requirement again.

Yes, I keep my Cygwin up to date at least once a week. In this case I did
so just before the build.

Understood. All it really tells us is where in the script it was working.

As far as I can tell, the failure is in "make" -- it never gets to "make
install".

I'll try "make clean" then attempt it again.

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

I've seen reference here about building in separate directory. My config. is

It appears that 'make clean' does not remove symlinks from ./lib-src/.
So whatever made them behave badly initially (broken symlinks?) will
persist.
Check the contents of lib-src and you should see symlinks to
non-existant files. Delete those, and build again. This should get
you through "make".

That does not appear to delete existing symlinks in lib-src, either.
Is that a bug perhaps?

New subject: Progress - but no cigar [Follow up to: Problems trying to make 2.5.1--i686-pc-cygwin]
I did "make realclean" then manually deleted /everything/ under the build
directory (<source>/i686-pc-cygwin) except the build script. That did get
me beyond the previous error. I now find several undefined symbols
"_imp__dbm_*" which looks like a missing header in the database source(?).
I also get the somewhat peculiar symptom that the configure script actually
tries to launch some x-windows function because I get a Windoze dialog
about not finding an "LIBX11.DLL" I have the X libraries but I don't use
the server yet and it isn't quite ready for prime time. That doesn't seem
to have any bad effects. IMHO, having the explicit "--without-x" should
have bypassed those functions: evidently the configure process doesn't take
my options at face value.

looks like it doesnt delete those sym-links
i could be wrong though Makefiles are not my forte

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'.
Sigh. This was a silly thing to say. As written, it should not
attempt 'ln -s' if the target already exists. Duh. Damn fever
talkin'.
So there is clearly something broken here, possibly in Cygwin. I'll
have a closer look.

That depends. If the link exists but is broken, then make will think it
doesn't exist and will try to remake it. But then if you do 'ln -s',
the link is already there and the ln command will fail.
On the other hand, if the link is not broken but simply wrong, this
does no good. And arguably it's not up to a make process to fix a
broken tree. That's what 'make clean' is for.
So there is clearly something broken here, possibly in Cygwin.

Matt, thanks for pointing this out. Sorry for generating so much
noise.
David, does this explains your problem?

I don't think I need to any more, given Matt's explanation.
There is still a bug somewhere with installexe.sh not being
copied/linked, though. I'll try to look at that later.

Somehow 'installexe.sh' didn't get copied. I'll have to look into
that.
I found that if I applied this patch to current 21.5 cvs, then "make
install" works for the cygwin build. I don't know if it's the
"right"
patch. Can someone here decide? Or do I need to send it to
xemacs-patches (or whatever)?
