cygwin build drops out

cygwin build drops out

[Thomas Wolff]

Hi, recently I cannot build cygwin anymore.
With a fresh git checkout, configure and make builds the newlib tree, no 
errors, but no winsup tree is built.
Any similar problem or known current issue?

This might be because of the recent switch to automake.  You have to run 
winsup/autogen.sh?

It says
parallel-tests: installing '../test-driver'
and terminates after a few seconds.
A new attempt to `make` changes nothing, still no winsup made.

That's expected.

Did you run 'configure' before 'make'?

You probably need to run the top-level configure *after* running autogen.sh.

The "how do I build cygwin" FAQ has been updated for these changes, but 
that update hasn't been published yet, as there hasn't been a release 
with these changes yet.

That works, thanks. (Had to remove a bunch of "register" specifiers from 
the sources...)
I hope, honestly, that it's not intended to stay that way. The autogen 
should be called by configure implicitly.

I hit this too; forgot to raise the issue here.  What I ended up doing is putting 
the build directory within the root of the git tree.
I used to have:
     /oss/build
     /oss/install
     /oss/src -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin == the git tree
but now have:
     /oss/build -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin/build
     /oss/install
     /oss/src -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin

Then within that new build directory I run /oss/src/configure [blah] then make.
HTH,
