From: tjump AT cais DOT com (Theodore Jump) Subject: a question ref: B19 (b18?) 6 Mar 1998 13:55:03 -0800 Message-ID: <34fc2800.6644984.cygnus.gnu-win32@smtp> Reply-To: tjump AT cais DOT com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com First off, I've been having good success building/installing different things today (ncurses-4.1, less-332, make 3.76.1, vim-5.0) and have been having few difficulties - but do have a recurring theme that comes up that I need to do manually for which I *hope* there is a better fix. Secondly, I *have* spent a little time (15-30 minutes) trying to find an answer in the ML archives and via Deja News - to no avail. The recurring-theme is that the portions of the makefiles that copy executable files into place needs to have the file extension (.EXE) appended in order to function. These typically take two forms (so far) ... ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} fooprogram ${bindir}/${binprefix}fooprogram $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p $(bindir)/`echo $$p|sed '$(transform)'`; My hope is that someone has figured out, or there is a standard way, to get the environment to recognize .EXE files in these cases, any takers?
