You are using the wrong make. Please read the instructions very carefully. You _must_ use the cygwin make with the supplied Makefiles. As INSTALL says: You will also need suitable versions of at least make, sh, rm, sed, (g)awk, mkdir, echo, cp, cut, diff, grep, egrep, pwd, expr and cat; we use those from the cygwin distribution (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin and several mirrors).
From: Griffith Feeney <gfeeney@hawaii.edu> To: wwwadmin@isildur.ci.tuwien.ac.at Subject: problem posting to r-help list Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 09:35:50 -1000 Attempting to build R-1.0.0 from source I get the following. F:\rw1000\src\gnuwin32>make BUILD=MINGW32 mkdir -p ../../bin F:/GCC-29~1.2/BIN/MAKE.EXE -C ./fixed
Note, this is the mingw32 make (which I did not think was in the base mingw32 distribution).
MAKE.EXE[1]: Entering directory `F:/rw1000/src/gnuwin32/fixed' MAKE.EXE[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. MAKE.EXE[1]: Leaving directory `F:/rw1000/src/gnuwin32/fixed' cp -pr unzip ../.. rm -f ../../unzip/*.h Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string F:\GCC-29~1.2\BIN\MAKE.EXE: *** [console.d] Error 2 By way of background, I am running Windows 95 4.00.950 and had, following rw1000\src\gnuwin32\install file: 1 installed mingw32 gcc-2.95.2 (MSVCRT) and put gcc-2.95.2\bin in the path; 2 installed cygwin user tools and put cygwin-b20\h-i586-cygwin32\bin in the path;
Put that ahead of 1 in your path!
