I'm trying to build a complete application software set (written in C) that has been provided to my university. The source (142 MB, comprising about 11,000 files, made of approx 560 supporting libraries and about 10 main applications) all installed, autoconfigured and built OK straight from the CD on a Redhat 9 Linux system, but 3 out of the 560 odd support libraries won't build under Cygwin 1.3.22-1 on a W2KPro SP4 system.
Although I'll confess to being a complete newbie with regard to C application development, the build failure seems to stem from problems in the internationalisation support : specifically accessing the supplied gettext-0.10.35 that is provided and built in the source tree of this application. Make errors as follows: ============================= /usr/bin/gcc -L/home/otb/OTB_Intnl_ABCA/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib bmap_to_lmap.o -o bmap_to_lmap bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x186):bmap_to_lmap.c: undefined reference to `_gettext' bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x1cb):bmap_to_lmap.c: undefined reference to `_gettext' bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x279):bmap_to_lmap.c: undefined reference to `_gettext' bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x2ba):bmap_to_lmap.c: undefined reference to `_gettext' bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x461):bmap_to_lmap.c: undefined reference to `_gettext' bmap_to_lmap.o(.text+0x4d5):bmap_to_lmap.c: more undefined references to `_gettext' follow collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [bmap_to_lmap] Error 1 ========================================= It's already been suggested to me (by the developer community of this specific application set) to try replacing the libintl.a that was built by the application makefile with a link to the libintl.a supplied as part of Cygwin itself. I tried this, which apparently had worked for some developers having similar problems, but without any success. Since the exact same source tree does build OK under RH9, I guess this must presumably be down to some difference in how Cygwin does things or perhaps to a confusion between the app-supplied gettext and the system-supplied one? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions/pointers on how to even further diagnose, nevr mind fix, the problem. Output from running 'cygcheck -s -v -r' attached as requested.
