Hi all
Thanks to all who responded. I have had *some* success by following some of the tips. For posterity, what I have done to have any success is as follows:
1. create directory: /bin 2. copy bash.exe to /bin 3. copy sh.exe to /bin 4. copy ld.exe to same directory as collect2.exe 5. run bash 6. type "./configure" (with or without '--prefix=c:/cygnus') 7. type "make LANGUAGES=pascal"
Okay, so what succeeded? Bash succeeded in running "./configure". All sorts of things start appearing on my screen, including the fact that these files were not found; 1.glob.h 2.fnmatch.h 3.sys/statvfs.h
That did not seem to affect things though. The thing finishes running, and has created a number of files (including config.log and rts- config.h). I run "make", and some things happen, and then it chokes on 'file.c', at line:1665. It claims that there are too few arguments to 'mkdir', in the function '_p_mkdir'. In the meantime, 'read.o', 'write.o', and 'rts.o' have been created.
I can't seem to locate where 'mkdir' is defined in the Cygwin headers, but I did find a reference to it in one header file, which seems to suggest that it takes 3 parameters, instead of 2.
That is my report. I am not sure where to go from here.
PS: I guess that I am now trying to compile for Cygwin instead of Mingw32.
