Tutorial 4

[Mark Butcher]

Hi Peter

Thanks for your comments. In fact I have got into the habit of trashing
everything before trying a build - yesterday I completely deleted all build
file and the tool directories (like a fresh install) and the error was
identical - this on two differenct computers (using cygwin shell - under
Windows 98 and Window NT).

It looks as though we are more or less in agreement that the build method
is basically correct and like you, being a pure c-programmer (with just a
little c++ experience) it means studying the language some more to
understand the problem.

I would be very interested to know whether the scrips works in a Linux
environment ! It would certainly be interesting if there are some
environment dependencies.

In the meantime I'll get my head down in my "Now I'm going to learn C++
book"...... (just noticed I took it in to the office so it will have to
wait until tomorrow).

Cheers

Mark

PS. I read your posting where you seem to have had an identical problem -
did you not have any response which may aid understanding the root-cause ?
