On both these problems I would suspect that somehow you have the
wrong "echo", and maybe it thinks it's the windows cmd echo?
So check your PATH setting and make sure that /usr/bin is
before any Windows version of echo.

I’ve been building the JDK for years through the Sun partner program
using MKS. Now I’m trying to build it using cygwin. I’ve gotten
through the obvious path errors to the point that the make starts to
run. I’m getting a lot of errors, but two in particular seem like they
should be easy to diagnose. I’m sure I’m missing something simple.
1. Errors that seem related to parameter parsing by gnumake or bash:
C:/Java/Jdkdrive/cygwin/bin/tr: missing operand after `[A-Z] [a-z]'
Two strings must be given when translating.
Try `C:/Java/Jdkdrive/cygwin/bin/tr --help' for more information.
This translate pattern only seems to appear once in the various JDK make
files:
jdk\make\common\shared\Defs-control.gmk:
BUNDLE_DATE := $(shell $(DATE) '+%d_%b_%Y' | $(TR) "[A-Z]" "[a-z]")
It seems as though two parameters were collapsed into one.
2. Problem with printf in make files:
This string appears in the output many times:
n%-60.60snn#####
This seems to originate from this or similar code in make\Defs-internal.gmk:
define MakeStart
$(PRINTF) "\n\n%s\n%s\n##### %-60.60s #####\n%s\n" \
"########################################################################" \
"########################################################################" \
"Entering $1 for target $2" \
"########################################################################"

Any ideas what I might have done wrong?
Software versions:
* latest cygwin, version 1.7.1, which I just downloaded this week.
* GNU Make is version 3.80, source downloaded from GNU a long time
ago. Rebuilt this week setting the cygwin option instead of the
mks option.
* Windows 7, 64-bit OS. (but I’m using 32-bit versions of the
utilities).
