Hi List!
The current default settings (config.nmake / Makefile.nmake) don't run
on my machine without changes - and I don't seem to be the only one (see
prokashs problems lately).
I'm wondering why the buildbot is running without problems - I guess
it's still using old cygwin tools.
These are the things I've noticed to be problematic:
- config.nmake: using cygwin python, which doesn't seem to work for some
time (changing to native Win32 python works fine)
- Makefile.nmake: using cygwin bash with the setup target (using
dos2unix to convert the line endings of the corresponding bash file
works fine)
The switch to native python also requires to change the recommendation
in the User's Guide accordingly.
The dos2unix tool should be already available with a default cygwin
installation, but native python will be missing on the buildbot I would
guess.
I'll change the configuration accordingly soon. I'll guess the buildbot
will fail from that moment until Gerald installs the Win32 python :-(
