RE: Installing XLT

["Gary Nicholson" <holokin at sisna dot com>]

Harold, 

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.

I was working from the Cygwin prompt, not the Win command prompt.

My PATH variable did include /bin before any directories outside
/cygwin, so
changing PATH did not help, but...

My mistake was that the GNU make was not yet installed.

I installed GNU make and re-tried from a clean directory. This time,
oddly, no errors
occurred while configure was searching for includes and libraries. The
paths were
found to be 

	/usr/X11R6/include 
and 
	/usr/X11R6/lib

Running GNU make yielded various warnings and the following error
messages:

	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
	make[3]: *** [test1] Error 1
	make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
	make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
	make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Is it safe to ignore these errors? They seem to have happened while GNU
make was
processing makefiles in the tests directory.

The attachment shows the combined standard and error streams during
make. 

Thank you for your help.

I'm going to go ahead now and start reading XLT docs and see if I can
run some
tests on the environment.

Gary

No, Borland's make is not going to work, unless XLT was specifically 
designed to work with their make --or-- you intend to work through the 
problems that arise and submit patches to XLT to be compiled with 
Borland's make under Cygwin.

You need to make sure that the Cygwin /bin path is coming before the 
path to any Windows executables in your Cygwin PATH envar.  You are 
running make and configure from a Cygwin prompt, not a command prompt, 
correct?

Let us know what happens when you get the PATH corrected... be sure to 
rerun configure, or even start from a clean untar if you can.

Harold
