compiling Classpath on cigwin/win

[Enrico Migliore]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Classpath on Cygwin and I took
the following steps:

1. Downloaded and installed Cygwin 1.5.18 on Win2k

2. Installed from Cygwin the following binaries:
           GCC(the full suite: gcc-core, gcc-g++,...)
            make
            autoconf
            automake
            libtool
3. Downloaded the source tree of jikes 1.22 from Sourceforge

4. Applied the patch suggested by Delibor topic:

    
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1202863&group_id=128803&atid=712760 


   (basically I have to comment out a few lines of code)

6. Then I ran:
               ./configure
               make
               make install
               make clean

7. Then I downloaded GNU/Classpath-0.19 from classpath.org

8. I ran:
                ./configure --with-jikes --disable-gtk-peer
                make

9. the ./configure utility printed the jikes command line and started 
compiling

(I had to disable gtk-peer because for some reason the configure utility
says "X is not installed"... even though X is installed through Cygwin...
I'm sure X is running because I got the excellent DDD debugger which
is a Windows based program, working on my Win2k)


The problem is that the Classpath compilation process started this
morning at 8:00 and, at 5 p.m., hasn't finished it.

The machine I'm using is a:

CPU: Intel @ 3GHz
RAM: 192 MBytes
OS: WinXP
case: Laptop

Is it reasonable a compilation time that long?

thanks for any help,
Enrico
