I'm attempting to modify the Mozilla build system so that it heavily relies upon using multiple dirs in the VPATH and I ran into a problem. If I list multiple directories in the VPATH, only source files that are in the first directory are found. I added a couple of printfs to the cygwin make source and I discovered that when the win32 path list is converted to a posix path list on line 108 of vpath.c, only the first directory is converted.
Before: VPATH = c:/root/rmch/mozilla/js/src/xpconnect c:/root/rmch/mozilla/js/src/xpconnect/idl After: VPATH = /cygdrive/c/root/rmch/mozilla/js/src/xpconnect c:/root/rmch/mozilla/js/src/xpconnect/idl This implies that the cygwin_win32_to_posix_path_list() function doesn't support converting multiple paths. I haven't grabbed the cygwin dll sources yet. Does anyone know authoritatively if that's the case? I searched the mailing list archive and came across this message back from 1998 which has no apparent resolution. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/1998-02/msg00894.html - cls -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
