Problem with GCC4[1.7]

I have done a minimal installation of Cygwin-1.7 and have tried to use it playing to build GCC-4.4.1, but 'configure' hangs. For example, mkdir build cd build CC='gcc-4' CXX='g++-4' CPP='cpp-4' ../gcc-4.4.1/configure checking build sy

Follow-up: I can confirm that your example using rsync to fetch a remote tree also fails on my system. I built a work-around into cygwin1.dll that solves the first failure cases in which socketpair() is involved on a system-wide basis, so individual applications don't have to be patched. The pr

PATCH: Cygwin 1.7 build system, reason: not all Makefiles honor installation into DESTDIR

2009-08-19 Thread cygwin at sipxx.com
