OK. Humm... I know that GNU make 3.81 has some shell problems with MKS, but I thought cygwin was fine. And the problem was around the way the bash shell does quotes.
Can you try the GNU make at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/MakeBinaries/cygwin-windows-i586/ Which should be the same as: http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe -kto Salter, Thomas A wrote:
That wasn't it. The path I'm using is: Visual Studio (several directories) GNU Make usr/bin JDK/bin Windows & Windows/System The only echo.exe on my system is in cygwin/bin.

So check your PATH setting and make sure that /usr/bin is before any Windows version of echo. -kto Salter, Thomas A wrote: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" \ "########################################################################" endef 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).
