Headaches building Source Navigator under Windows

[Bruce Edson]

Just as another attempt at this, I tried what you suggested, namely putting
cl.exe in quotes.  Configure now runs to the end.  Yahoo!  Quite the stab in
the dark, Ian. I am not sure what was happening, maybe you could explain.
Thanks!

Now on to the next road block in the 'make' portion of the build.  This
seems to run along for a while without errors, although a few warnings,
until the following:

LINK : LNK6004: ./tix4181.exe not found or not built by the last incremental
link; performing full link
make[2]: Leaving directory `/snbuild/tix/win'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/snbuild/tix'
make[1]: Entering directory `/snbuild/itcl'
Making in itcl/win
make[2]: Entering directory `/snbuild/itcl/itcl/win'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `itcl_bicmds.obj', needed by
`snitcl30.dll'.
  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/snbuild/itcl/itcl/win'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/snbuild/itcl'
make: *** [all-itcl] Error 2

Any thoughts?

Bruce

A stab in the dark:

Are you setting to CC="cl.exe ...." before you run configure?
