Re: Crosstool Build Fails under cygwin

[Crifan Li <admin at crifan dot com>]

Hi
    I have encounted same issues, in same environment: x74 win7 + Cywin 
1.7.17
issue1: zconf.tab.o:zconf.tab.c:(.text+0x1671): undefined reference to 
`_libintl_gettext'
issue2: Makefile:240: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.
issue3: That seems slow!

but now, has already fixed them before.

in brief, the (best) solution is:
1. for issue1: zconf.tab.o:zconf.tab.c:(.text+0x1671): undefined 
reference to `_libintl_gettext'
reason:
lack related lib (when build under Cygwin)
solution:
change the makefile
crosstool-ng-1.18.0\kconfig\Makefile
to add intl and curses lib for conf, mconf, nconf
like this:

# Whatâs needed to build âconfâ
conf_SRC = conf.c
conf_OBJ = $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(conf_SRC))
conf_DEP = $(patsubst %.o,%.dep,$(conf_OBJ))
$(conf_OBJ) $(conf_DEP): CFLAGS += $(INTL_CFLAGS)
conf: LDFLAGS += -lintl

# Whatâs needed to build âmconfâ
mconf_SRC = mconf.c
mconf_OBJ = $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(mconf_SRC))
mconf_DEP = $(patsubst %.c,%.dep,$(mconf_SRC))
$(mconf_OBJ) $(mconf_DEP): CFLAGS += $(NCURSES_CFLAGS) $(INTL_CFLAGS)
#mconf: LDFLAGS += $(NCURSES_LDFLAGS)
mconf: LDFLAGS += -lintl $(NCURSES_LDFLAGS)

# Whatâs needed to build ânconfâ
nconf_SRC = nconf.c nconf.gui.c
nconf_OBJ = $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(nconf_SRC))
nconf_DEP = $(patsubst %.c,%.dep,$(nconf_SRC))
#$(nconf_OBJ) $(nconf_DEP): CFLAGS += $(INTL_CFLAGS) -I/usr/include/ncurses
#nconf: LDFLAGS += -lmenu -lpanel -lncurses
$(nconf_OBJ) $(nconf_DEP): CFLAGS += -I/usr/include/ncurses/ $(INTL_CFLAGS)
nconf: LDFLAGS += -lintl -lmenu -lpanel -lncurses


2. for issue2: Makefile:240: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.
reason:
make v3.81 support those "mixed implicit and normal rules"
but new v3.82 make, not support them.
solution:
use crosstool-ng (included) companion make:
in ct-ng menuconfig, config to use its (v3.81) make:
Paths and misc options  â>
    [*] Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL
Companion tools  â>
    [*] Build some companion tools
    [*]   make

3. for issue3: That seems slow!
config crosstool-ng to use multithread, such as 4 thread:
Paths and misc options
  (4) Number of parallel jobs

for more details, can refer my posts(written in Chinese, you can use 
google translate it to English):
1. for issue1: zconf.tab.o:zconf.tab.c:(.text+0x1671): undefined 
reference to `_libintl_gettext'
