|

| 53 | <P>
|
|---|
| 54 | Some packages which come with recent installations of CygWin are, unfortunately,
|
|---|
| 55 | affected with bugs and do not allow for a proper development environment. We
|
|---|
| 56 | list in this page all known problems in the recent installations of CygWin we
|
|---|
| 57 | could identify, and suggested workarounds.<BR>
|
|---|
| 58 | We try to keep this page up to date as new problems are found.

|

| 61 | <LI>The version of <B><TT>make</TT></B> ("<TT>make --version</TT>" gives 3.81) in the
|
|---|
| 62 | latest versions of CygWin does not handle the definition of file paths
|
|---|
| 63 | properly and produces errors like the following:
|
|---|
| 64 | <PRE>
|
|---|
| 65 | -----------
|
|---|
| 66 | common.gmk:36: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.

|
|---|
| 68 | Starting build...
|

| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | GNUmakefile:55: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
|
|---|
| 71 | -----------
|
|---|
| 72 | </PRE>
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | Until a better solution is found or a new patched version of
|
|---|
| 75 | <B><TT>make</TT></B> is provided in CygWin, please replace
|
|---|
| 76 | <TT>make.exe</TT> with the old version of <B><TT>make</TT></B> (3.80)
|
|---|
| 77 | that you can either download from
|
|---|
| 78 | <a href="http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2">paracoda</a>
|
|---|
| 79 | or download directly from the Geant4 web site by following the instructions
|
|---|
| 80 | given here.
|
|---|
| 81 | <BR>
|
|---|
| 82 | Open a CygWin shell and give the following commands (NOTE: you need to have
|
|---|
| 83 | <TT>wget</TT> installed in your CygWin installation!):
|
|---|
| 84 | <PRE>
|
|---|
| 85 | cd /usr/bin
|
|---|
| 86 | mv make.exe make_381.exe
|
|---|
| 87 | wget http://geant4.cern.ch/support/extras/cygwin/make.exe

| 88 | chmod +x make.exe
|
|---|
| 89 | </PRE>
|
|---|
| 90 | </LI>
|
|---|
| 91 | <LI>The version of <B><TT>bash</TT></B> ("<TT>bash --version</TT>"
|
|---|
| 92 | gives 3.2.25-16) which comes with the latest versions of CygWin is broken
|
|---|
| 93 | and does not allow for proper sourcing of shell scripts (including also
|
|---|
| 94 | the <TT>Configure</TT> script to be used for the Geant4 installation).
|
|---|
| 95 | Therefore, if you adopt the <TT>bash</TT> shell (the default in CygWin)
|
|---|
| 96 | in your CygWin session, you will most likely be exposed to errors.<BR>
|
|---|
| 97 | Until a better solution is found or a new patched version of
|
|---|
| 98 | <B><TT>bash</TT></B> is provided in CygWin, please replace
|
|---|
| 99 | <TT>bash.exe</TT> with the old version of <B><TT>bash</TT></B> (3.1-6)
|
|---|
| 100 | that you can either install from CygWin, by selecting the alternative
|
|---|
| 101 | version provided instead of the default, either download it from
|
|---|
| 102 | <a href="http://mirrors.xmission.com/cygwin/release/bash/bash-3.1-6.tar.bz2">xmission</a>,
|
|---|
| 103 | or download directly from the Geant4 web site by following the instructions
|
|---|
| 104 | given here.
|
|---|
| 105 | <BR>
|
|---|
| 106 | Open a CygWin shell and give the following commands (NOTE: you need to have
|
|---|
| 107 | <TT>wget</TT> and <TT>tcsh</TT> installed in your CygWin installation!):
|
|---|
| 108 | <PRE>
|
|---|
| 109 | cd /usr/bin
|
|---|
| 110 | tcsh
|
|---|
| 111 | mv bash.exe bash_322516.exe

|
|---|
| 118 | <TT>make</TT> selecting the right instance of the command <TT>link.exe</TT>,
