Re: Cygwin Build Fix Candidates

[John Darrington]

Thanks for looking at this.

This is part of a wider problem pertaining to the way that we've used
Automake to cope with generating built sources.  I need to  get some
advice from the Automake mailing list and fix the problems before the
next release.

     Thanks for the quick response.  Here are some possible fixes for the 
     Cygwin environment.
     
     Removing the $(EXEEXT) from the q2c rule in the top level Makefile.am 
     fixes the missing q2c problem and I have attached the updated 
     Makefile.am.  I do not understand automake well enough to know whether 
     this is supposed to be the way it works but there does appear to be some 
     discussion about the tools hading the file extensions automatically. 
     
     The missing libiconv reference under Cygwin - I could add an 
     AC_CHECK_LIB to configure.ac, but 
     http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC188 
     discusses some variables that do not appear in the Makefile or other 
     sources that should deal properly with the various permutations of 
     iconv.  Unfortunately my inpexperience with automake and the like is 
     showing at this point and I'll have to leave it to you to work out what 
     is best.
