Hi!
I got some problems with this snapshot, all regarding mkvers.sh,
especially the call to windres:
- First of all, windres didn't know the option '-D'. I'm using
windres-2.9.4 (it's the latest version, isn't it?) and it doesn't
know the option '-D' but only '--define'.
- $dir was set to "include/cygwin" in mkvers.sh, so windres was
called with `--include-dir include/cygwin/include' instead of
`--include-dir include, which would be correct.
- after changing the -D to --define I got the next problem, a
gcc compiler error:
gcc: 23:33:00: no such file or directory
Investigating the call, I found that the BUILD_DATE has to
be quoted twice:
--define BUILD_DATE="\"$builddate\""
instead of
--define BUILD_DATE="$builddate"
- At last, the build was done and the new-cygwin1.dll contained
a version info in the properties sheet. Unfortunately, the
version info was completely empty!
I have a patch of mkvers.sh but it only solves the first three
problems. Moreover I'm not sure if the problems result from
an own mistake, so I would like to hear from you, first.
Regards,
Corinna
