I'm having troubles compiling the manual under Cygwin. Absolute paths don't work, sometimes I get /phpdoc (the Cygwin absolute path), sometimes c:\cygwin\phpdoc (the Windows absolute path).

First I tried a minimal Cygwin installation, with PHP (4.3.4 CLI) and OpenJade in /opt/php and /opt/openjade. This didn't work.

Then I installed the rest of the Cygwin standard distribution, and used the ../phpdoc-tools/ directory. This doesn't seem to work with OpenJade (somebody please update the configure.in script, I'm no autoconf expert), so I put Jade in. This still didn't work.

How have others solved this problem? I know this is a very basic problem, but I'm stuck on it. And if I can't get Cygwin working, I can't continue with the SDK MSI package.

Greetings,

Jan Fabry



This is the list of Cygwin packages that I think is the minimum for testing the manual. It's already 90 Mb, so if I could throw anything out, that would be great (Perl alone is 25 Mb). Entries starting with an arrow are basic requirements for the automake and configure step, entries after the : are their requirements.
