Re: 'fhandler_base::dup:' - Error

[amit . sheth]

Let me clarify. "Setting environment for Cygwin" is just a comment in the
batch file that calls 'make'.
I am using 'Cygwin' settings, but trying to get MSYS-MINGW-GCC to work
instead of CygwinGCC.
The batch file is

@echo off
PATH=C:/MSYS/1.0/bin;%PATH%
rem set INCLUDE=C:/MSYS/1.0/mingw/include;%INCLUDE%
rem set LIB=C:/MSYS/1.0/lib;%LIB%
if "%2"=="" set target=all
if "%2"=="build" set target=all
if "%2"=="rebuild" set target=clean all
if "%2"=="clean" set target=clean
echo Setting environment for Cygwin
echo "make.exe"
make -s -d %target% -f %1

The version of Make is

$ make -v

Hi; it looks like you are using the Cygwin-modified version of GNU make.
That version of make is supported by the Cygwin team, not this mailing
list (we support only the standard version of GNU make, provided on the
FSF web site), for problems which seem likely to be related to Cygwin
changes.  if it's a generic problem with make of course you can ask
here, but the above error looks very much to me like a system-specific
error that would need to be addressed by the Cygwin team.  I suggest you
contact them.


Good luck!
