Hello all, I'm excited about the work you've been doing porting gnucash to W32. I'm having difficulty getting guile built and installed. Sorry if this should be sent to the guild team first, but trail results were encouraged :)
I can't make sense of the issue although I'm rather close to being a crackled veteran of these build processes... (at least in UNIX.) Can any of you help sniff out the issue? Thanks in advance. I followed the instructions, from the README (as of SVN yesterday.) I blanked my PATH to exclude cygwin and got messages "cygpath not found" at the same spot of the issues I include below. So I altered the PATH to include cygwin/bin and I get: ############################################################ ### Wget ############################################################ already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### MSYS DTK ############################################################ msys dtk already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### MinGW ############################################################ mingw already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### Unzip ############################################################ unzip already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### RegEx ############################################################ regex already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### Readline ############################################################ readline already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### Indent ############################################################ indent already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### ActivePerl (intltool) ############################################################ ActivePerl already installed. skipping. ############################################################ ### Guile ############################################################ configure: loading cache config.cache . . . make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8' Making all in oop make[2]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop' Making all in goops make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop/goops' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop/goops' make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop' make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/oop' Making all in qt make[2]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt' Making all in md make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt/md' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt/md' Making all in time make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt/time' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt/time' make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt' make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/qt' Making all in libguile-ltdl make[2]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl' Making all in upstream make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl/upstream' make all-am make[4]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl/upstream' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl/upstream' make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl/upstream' make[3]: Entering directory `/c/soft/tmp/guile-1.6.8/libguile-ltdl' /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -lwsock32 -L/c/soft/readline/lib -L/c/soft/regex/lib -lregex -no-undefined -o libguile-ltdl.la -rpath c:/soft/guile/lib -version-info 1:1:0 -export-dynamic -no-undefined guile-ltdl.lo -ldl -lcrypt -lm cygpath: can't convert empty path *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -ldl. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library.
