I am trying to build SA-2.41 (on Win 98) but I'm encountering a problem. I tried the SA mailing list but mostly I got blank looks (their list-archives only have something relating to a previous version, and which does not apply to the error I am getting). perl Makefile.PL seems to go okay, but the make process then fails as follows: make -f binaries.mk spamd/spamc make[1]: Entering directory /home/eye/develop/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.41' gcc -g -O2 spamd/spamc.c spamd/libspamc.c spamd/utils.c \ -o spamd/spamc make[1]: Leaving directory /home/eye/develop/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.41' cp spamd/spamc blib/script/spamc /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e "MY->fixin(shift)" blib/script/spamc Can't process 'blib/script/spamc': No such file or directory at -e line 1 make: *** [blib/script/spamc] Error 255 $ ls -la blib/script total 60 drwxr-xr-x 2 eye users 0 Sep 18 12:38 . drwxr-xr-x 7 eye users 0 Sep 18 12:34 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 eye users 0 Aug 22 2001 .exists -rwxr-xr-x 1 eye users 61206 Sep 18 12:38 spamc.exe What I think is happening is that the .exe suffix is being added to the binary (I'm assuming this is one of the executable files), but something then can't find the executable file as a result. The /usr/bin/perl line, correct? Can anyone who has got it working give me a few clues please? perl is v5.6.1, if it makes any diff. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
