 hello
 
 I have the same compile error  when  building insight. See my original mail, may be it
 can help you.
 Nowtime I am not able to use latest insight with cygwin , I work with an oldier version
 
 however I made the following trial ( for information )
 
 trial 1:
 I modify the source by changing the waddr with long and so on ( I have an older
 version of insight wich work and I loock in the code ) compile and link error are ok
 and get an executable wich unfortanely crash at startup.
 
 trial 2:
 I used "-r gdb_5_2-branch" , so the previous compile errors was ok, but I get a new
 one that i fixed so i got an get an executable wich unfortanely crash at startup.

 ************* THIS IS THE MAIL I SENT ON 23-05 *******
 hi
 
 I wanted to build insight , host is window2000/cygwin and target is
 i386-elf.
 I follow the procedure as written on the web
 -------> step 1)
 First get the sources for the version of Insight you want to use. The
 basic CVS command is
 
 cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src login
 [enter "anoncvs" as the password]
 cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co [-r BRANCH]
 insight+dejagnu
 
 ------> step 2)
 cd src/tcl
 cvs -q update -r gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch
 cd ../tk
 cvs -q update -r gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch
 cd ../itcl
 cvs -q update -r gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch
 cd ../libgui/src
 cvs -q update -r gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch tkGraphCanvas.c tkCanvEdge.c
 
 ----> step 3
 
 add the missing files
      src/itcl/iwidgets3.0.0/iwidgets.tcl
      src/itcl/iwidgets3.0.0/pkgIndex.tcl
 
 ---> step 4
 configure and build
 
     ../src/configure --target=i386-elf
     make
 
 ERROR when compiling files gdbtk-bp.c and gdbtk-cmds.c
 
 thanks for help

       Let me address the multitude of problems that I see in your bug report.
 
       Build failures:
       1. "the very latest mingw was used"
       Insight does NOT build with mingw. It is a cygwin application. From what I
   understand, Insight can debug MinGW applications, but it CANNOT be built by
   mingw.
 
       2. "when Cygwin gettext-devel was not installed"
       You simply are missing a piece of the puzzle. You also need a working compiler,
   assembler, perl, and a whole lot more. Note that gettext-devel is NOT required by
   Insight. It is required by BFD and several other patckages that Insight relies on.
   Without any explicit dependency tracking (like an RPM or something), there is little
   that I can do other than help users when these kinds of problems occur.
 
       3. "the g++ in gcc 3.2 was missing"
       Again, g++ is not required by insight/gdb. There is likely something else in the
   repository that requires it, but what that is I cannot even imagine right now...
 
       4."the older CVS files overwrote, and a Makefile was not edited to remove this
   error: 'cd: can't cd to iwidgets3.0.0/unix"
       I haven't a clue what this is right now. I'm not even sure I understand what you
   mean when you mention overwriting files. Are you checking the sources out or did
   you download a snapshot? If you checked them out, was it a clean checkout or an
   update? If you updated, did you use the cvs option "-P"? Did you use the "-d" option
   in the tcl, tk, itcl, gdb directories? Please explain a little more what you did. I have
   been building insight on cygwin without incident for several months now (the whole
   dejagnu thing excepted).
 
       Insight DEFINITELY works on cygwin. In fact, it is distributed as part of the
   cygwin gdb package. (Perhaps you are referring to 5.3, which had stability problems
   on cygwin, and that was not Insight, it was Tk.)
 
       Please explain a little more about your environment. I suspect that your mingw
   environment is getting in the way...
 
       What does config.cache say the value of "tcl_cv_type_64bit" is? What does
   configure say the host is?

 My last message was wrongly sent to "insight-prs@sources.redhat.com"

 I intend to not resend the message but I can if asked.
 I have no idea why your Insight compiles on Cygwin.

>Description:


The build program did not find or did not get on with, the
cygwin tcl.h in /usr/include (a Windows 2000 Ntfs 
directory).
That Cygwin tcl.h file has this in it:

-----------------------------------------------
    16  * RCS: @(#) $Id: tcl.h,v 1.147 2002/10/21
                                       04:35:50 das Exp $
...
    64 #define TCL_VERSION         "8.4"
    65 #define TCL_PATCH_LEVEL     "8.4.1"
-----------------------------------------------
The Cygwin Gcc version (that Gcc was on the path):

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)

Note that compiled failed when
* The very latest MinGW was used
* when Cygwin gettext-devel was not installed
* when the g++ in GCC 3.2 was missin.
* the older CVS files overwrote, and a Makefile was not
edited to remove this error:  "cd: can't cd to
iwidgets3.0.0/unix". The build died when descending into the
empty 'unix' directory.

The following crash during the build occurred in the two
cases: CVS overwrote that latest files with older files, and
when CVS did not.), and all the files were freshly CVS-ed.
This error below is the first one both showed in both runs.

The options for configure & makefile were:

   cd src
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/insight
   .make
