Building with cygwin

[Salter, Thomas A]

Actually, I can't just run with that one.  I've a minor change to make related to tabs that's needed in my environment.  Is that make any different than the version from GNU with the CYGWIN option turned on?  I've tried that combination.

I suspect I need to back up and try to build the open jdk source as-is, without changes, using cygwin.  I was trying to skip directly from using MKS, while leaving private changes in the make files and source.

That said, the problems I'm seeing do look like quote problems.

By the way, the readme at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#gmake still says to avoid gmake 3.81.

What about the cygwin version?  The readme just says 1.5.12 or newer.  I'm using 1.7.1, which seems to be quite new.

OK. Humm...

I know that GNU make 3.81 has some shell problems with MKS, but I thought
cygwin was fine. And the problem was around the way the bash shell does quotes.

Can you try the GNU make at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/MakeBinaries/cygwin-windows-i586/

Which should be the same as: http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe
