[nhc-users] Building nhc98 under Cygwin

[Ullal Devappa Kini]

Hi!

I shall be happy to receive suggestions about building nhc98.
I seem to have run into a few errors. I enclose the report below.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

I try building nhc98 using nhc98-1.16.tar.gz on i686-pc-cygwin:

Cygwin ( 1.3.22 )
gcc (3.2-3)
Windows 98 2nd Edition
Pentium 3 Processor

   cd /usr/src

   tar -xzf nhc98-1.16.tar.gz

   mv nhc98-1.16 nhc98 

   cd nhc98

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nhc

   make

Error1

Try to see whether error is serious?

   make -i

A number of executables and libraries get built. So, try

   make -i install

Lots of files get installed under /usr/local/nhc.The following errors are seen:

-------->
 Adjusting... hmakerc
I/O error:
  action :  openFile ReadMode
  on file:  /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP\hmakeconfig.tmp
  gave   :  ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I/O error (user-defined), call to function `userError':
  nhc98 not found
(This error message is harmless)
hmake-config: compiler not known:
  'E:/cygwin/usr/local/nhc/bin/nhc98'
hmake-config: compiler not known:
-------->

   export PATH=/usr/local/nhc/bin:$PATH

   nhc98 --version

Gives output of version information.
