Hello, I was trying to build the waf cygport (i.e. http://sourceforge.net/p/cygwin-ports/waf/ci/master/tree/ ), and kept getting a cryptic error message:
*** ERROR: inherit: unknown cygclass python3 Since there was definitely a /usr/share/cygport/cygclass/python3.cygclass file, this made no sense to me. I modified /usr/share/cygport/lib/inheritance.cygpart so that line 39 read error "inherit: unknown cygclass ${_privclassdir}/${classname}.cygclass WTF"; And got the interesting error message .cygclass WTFherit: unknown cygclass /usr/share/cygport/cygclass/python3 That's when I realized that the CR character was being included in the module name. I ran dos2unix on the .cygport file and all was well. You may want to modify cygport to handle DOS-style line-endings.
