Hi,
There's a scary-looking problem that I started to see after I went
from NT to w2k. This happens when I build XEmacs - but I guess any
long build would do, XEmacs build is just something I regularly run.
What happens is, I run make, it churns for a while, but then it would
stop with an error like the following one:
gcc -c -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wno-sign-compare -fno-caller-saves -I/usr/X11R6/include /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.2/src/process-unix.c
cpp.exe: /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.2'src/process-unix.c: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [process-unix.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xemacs-21.2/bld-debug/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2
Note the quote instead of a slash in the error message. This happens
randomly, on different files, but it is always a quote before "src"
instead of a slash. Running make again would compile that file, but
eventually break with exact same error later. Building XEmacs usually
takes about 4-6 restarts of make, if run under rxvt. This also happens
in the "normal" cygwin bash window - but *much* less often. I have not
noticed any other random problems on my system (the most cpu-intensive
thing that I'm doing routinely is building large projects in Visual
C++ 6.0).
Any ideas on how to approach this? Anybody else seen something
similar? Thanks.
