RE: [pooma-dev] more on VC++ ide files

[Julian C. Cummings]

Allan will correct me if I am wrong, but I think cygwin has

some weird problems with directory names that have spaces

in them.  So I avoid that completely within the cygwin realm

of my hard drive.

 

Another "make" problem under cygwin is the step where the

executable gets copied to a file with "_$(PASS)" appended to

the name.  It throws an error because it thinks the two arguments

to cp are the same.  I think the problem is that we do not have

the appropriate .exe filename extension included.  This could

be fixed by defining some symbol for the application filename

extension and adding that to the build system.  I will see what

I can do to fix this.

I get an error when trying to do "make" that is apparently due to spaces in the path names ("Documents and Users"...). Is there anything that can be done to make this work, or do I just have to move the files into a path that has no spaces (~/r2 or something).

Julian,

Now that you have identified the problem I'll find a solution that works
under/with Cygwin over the next couple of days.

On the subject of configure under Cygwin, I've been annoyed before by the
absence of which.  I even found a toolkit claiming to offer a which
replacement, but which was missing.  The GNU manuals at fsf.org do not
include documentation for this utility either.  Hmm.  I just looked at my
FreeBSD which and I discovered that it's a Perl script.  It's
redistributable and it worked, so I've included it below.

Under Cygwin bash the current directory is not a default part of the path.
On my installation either "perl configure" or "./configure" works.

Allan

I copied the following FreeBSD which script into c:\cygwin\bin and it works
under Cygwin (but not under a normal WinNT CMD shell because it uses ':' as
the default path separator).
