Hi, After supplying a patch on March 22nd (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-03/msg01323.html), I've found a bug in my patch, so I'll resubmit the fix. Before checking on zero pointers, make occasionally crashed... I checked the vpath.c file, it seems unaffected, so the patch delivered is still valid.
The ChangeLog entry is new, the diff refers to the original file 'read.c', so this patch will apply both in one turn. Have fun, Johan Bezem CSK Software AG ### ChangeLog ### 2002-04-22 Johan Bezem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * read.c (read_makefile) [__CYGWIN__]: Added a check for an empty vpath pathname when converting DOS to canonical pathnames. ### vpath.c-patch ### --- read.orig.c Fri Mar 22 10:51:07 2002 +++ read.c Mon Apr 22 09:57:16 2002 @@ -648,6 +648,24 @@ read_makefile (filename, flags) else /* No pattern means remove all previous selective VPATH's. */ pattern = 0; + + /* CYGNUS LOCAL Cygwin */ + /* FIXME: should this conversion only take place when in unixy_mode? */ +#ifdef __CYGWIN__ + if (p != 0) + { + /* if a win32 VPATH path list, convert to posix path list */ + if (!cygwin_posix_path_list_p (p)) + { + register char *posixp = (char *) + alloca (cygwin_win32_to_posix_path_list_buf_size (p)); + cygwin_win32_to_posix_path_list (p, posixp); + p = posixp; + } + } +#endif /* __CYGWIN__ */ + /* END CYGNUS LOCAL */ + construct_vpath_list (pattern, p); if (pattern != 0) free (pattern); -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
