AW: AW: Newest CygWin make (was Re: [cdt-dev] Managed build on Windowsfailswith linked folders)
|
Hi Chris,
thanks for the review. I thought that this simple form of the patch will not be generical enough for the diverse build environments that are around.
I did a little bugzilla query and I think that the best solution will be to create a Cygwin specific toolchain as discussed in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=101961. Then we have a more specific build environment. May my patch become a contribution to fixing #101961 ...
Cheers,
Norbert

Hi Norbert,
I took a look at your patch. The idea is fine, but the problem is that the
GNU makefile generator might not be used for CygWin theoretically, and your
solution turns all Windows paths into CygWin paths. It's entirely possible
for GNU make to be built for windows in which case windows paths will work
provided they're escaped properly should they contain spaces etc.
I'm not sure how MinGW behaves as I haven't used it at all.
I am thinking we should create a separate makefile generator for CygWin
that takes care of all the CygWin-isms.
I don't know offhand the debug related Bugzillas, but I know there are some
somewhere.
