David Bertoni commented on XALANC-642:
--------------------------------------
This is a fundamental flaw with how we install. The Makefiles rely on the fact
that a Unix system is forgiving of things like "//" in a path. Because we add
a destination directory (which is, by default, empty) to the prefix, the
default behavior is to install to a path that starts with "//".
We will need to figure something out as a special case for Cygwin, since "//"
is interpreted as a UNC path.
> When building for Cygwin, the "install" target creates an invalid path from
> the prefix (-P | --prefix option) supplied to runConfigure

> Key: XALANC-642
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-642
> Project: XalanC
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XalanC
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Environment: IBM ThinkPad, Windows XP Professional, Cygwin, latest
> update as of 12/15/06, GNU bash, version 3.2.5(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin),
> GNU Make 3.8
> Reporter: Will Sappington
>
> while building Xalan 1.10.0 in the above environment, give the command
> ./runConfigure -p cygwin -c gcc -x g++ -P
> /cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/Xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package
> and run make. After the build completes run make install (also does this if
> running make install from the beginning). get the make output below. in
> summary, the "make -C XalanMsgLib install" step prepends an additional '/' to
> the prefix path resulting in the command "mkdir -p
> //cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package/lib" being issued
> which generates the error message "mkdir: cannot create directory
> `//cygdrive': No such host or network".
> Per Dave Bertoni, this is the work around, posted to the mail list on 3/14/07:
> 1. specify the prefix you want as a configure option to the runConfigure
> script:
> ./runConfigure -p cygwin -c gcc -x g++ -C
> --prefix=/cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package
> 2. Do the build (although you don't have to rebuild if you don't want to,
> since this won't affect the binaries.
> 3. Open Makefile.incl and search for the prefix you specified. You'll see
> something like this:
> prefix = /cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package/
> 4. Just remove the leading "/" from the definition:
> prefix = cygdrive/c/proj/3rdParty/libs/xalan-c_1_10_0-C/package/
