Hello,
Started trying to compile a familiar Linux library under Cygwin and ran
into a problem with the AC_PATH_XTRA autoconf macro which calls xmkmf
which calls imake. The trouble is that even with xorg devel installed,
and therefore I do have a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl, imake
will still complain because it cannot find this file. Based on strace
it appears to look in the current directory, then in
C:\cygwin\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\3.4.4\include\Imake.tmpl, then
(C:\cygwin\usr\include\w32api\Imake.tmpl. I can actually work around
this problem by just doing a 'touch Imake.tmpl' in the current directory
where imake is executed by configure for this macro test. However,
something is wrong here and I could not find a recent email about this
problem.
To reproduce the problem, 'touch Imakefile;imake'. Should result in the
following output.
$ touch Imakefile
$ imake
Imakefile.c:9: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory
imake: Exit code 1.
Stop.
Thanks,
Brian
