Re: Compiling GCC under Cygwin

[Arjen Markus <arjen dot markus895 at gmail dot com>]

Hi Angelo,

well, the DOS-style path only caused a warning in the configure step,
so I assumed it was okay.
It was not apparently. Building out-of-source is an instruction I must
have missed.

So, I tried again. The problem I reported before has gone, but I still
get a file permission problem later on.

I have not been able to solve it, even though my laptop is now
connected to the domain, I have instructed
the build process to use my home directory and I have set umask to
0000 - all suggestions I found or
was told they might solve the problem.

If anyone knows what to do about it, I would very much like to hear
about it. My Google foo is failing me
in unearthing a definite solution, I am afraid.

Regards,

Arjen
