[Ecls-list] trouble building current HEAD on cygwin

[Anton Vodonosov]

Hi All.

After checkouting current CVS HEAD and 
running './configure', 'make' fails with
the following messages:

...
m4  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -DOPERATION_dive_1 -DPIC dive_1.asm >tmp-dive_1.s

It may be related to the issue in this thread: 
http://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-devel/2006-April/000618.html.

I even tried to edit 'configure' as author suggests. 
After this build goes further, but anyway it fails
at some point with the same message. I'm not an expert
in the GNU build system, so I was unable to fix it and 
build ECL. 

Note, release ecl-0.9i builds successfully on my cygwin.
The cygwin was updated yesterday, so all the tools seem
to be fresh.

In particular, gcc --version
