Problem building Xerces 2.7.0 with Cygwin

[Will Sappington <ws...@ndma.us>]

New user, first post, apologies in advance for any etiquette violations.
I'm having problems building 2.7.0 under Cygwin running on XP
Professional.  I've followed the instructions (and previously built
2.7.0 under Linux), read the FAQ, searched the archives for "Cygwin
make" and haven't found what I need.  I'm going to continue researching
this on my own, but I thought I'd get the question out there in case I
hit a dead end.

 

Here's what I did:

 

Unzip the tarball into a directory outside of Cygwin's file system -
c:\proj\3rdParty\libs\xerces-c-src_2_7_0\ (would like to build for Win32
out of the same tree.)

 

export XERCESCROOT = c:/proj/3rdParty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0

 

start a Cygwin bash shell

 

cd to c:/proj/3rdParty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/src/xercesc

 

./runConfigure -pcygwin -cgcc -xg++

 

Everything went OK up to this point.  The output from runConfigure
looked OK (same as the successful Linux build) so I tried to do the
"gmake".  Here's the output that went to the console:

 

(begin)

 

If the result of the above commands look OK to you, go to the directory

c:/proj/3rdParty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/src/xercesc and type "gmake" to
make the XERCES-C system.

 

wsappington@NDMA-WSappingto
/cygdrive/c/proj/3rdparty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/src/xercesc

$ gmake

bash: gmake: command not found

 

wsappington@NDMA-WSappingto
/cygdrive/c/proj/3rdparty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/src/xercesc

$ make

Makefile:73: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.

 

(end)

 

I'm not particularly surprised about the failure of the gmake command,
Cygwin "make" is GNU make, V3.81 to be specific.  So I tried just "make"
and got the error above.  Any help would be much appreciated, TIA.

This was the problem and I suspected it might be.  That's what I was
referring to when I said I would keep digging into it - trying other
path specifications.  I tried this because Cygwin seems to handle the
various path conventions on the command line and in scripts with no
problems.  It was just what I decided to try first.

Indeed it was.  Thank you for the help.

Why are you using a DOS-style specification here?  I would recommend you 
use /cygdrve/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xerces-c-src_2_7_0 instead.

I believe this is a result of the way you specified XERCESCROOT.
