RE: Build error. GNU make downgrade?

You don’t want to downgrade to 3.80.  You need 3.81, but there were several versions on Cygwin that were labelled 3.81, at least one of which did not work.

 

You can get a gzipped file with the version I am using at

Subject: Build error. GNU make downgrade?

 

Hi all,

 

I have build EPICS Base 3.14.9 on a PC with Windows XP, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, cygwin 1.7.5-1, Active Perl 5.10.1 and the GNU make 3.81 that comes in the cygwin packet.

 

I’m trying to create the Example IOC Application from the EPICS Application Developer’s Guide with command window, but when I build it with make, I have the following Error:

 

*** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

 

I have read in the mailing list that could be because the GNU make 3.81 doesn’t recognize DOS paths and I want to downgrade cygwin’s GNU make to 3.80. How can I do that? I have downloaded the tar file and now?

 

Maybe someone have the same Error, but has used another solution.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Gorka
