Cygwin64 dependency issue.
Line 7: Line 7:


I'm obviously not the first to get this error ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23839851/gcc-cross-compiler-cygwin64-gfdl-license-tm-texi reference]). This seems to be some sort of file version control issue. In my case, copying the file as suggested by the error message did ''not'' work. What ''did'' work was to re extract the tar file containing the original GCC source, overwriting the GCC source files (I assume this resets date stamps). After this, I changed back to my build-gcc folder, ran 'make install-gcc' and the process went swimmingly. I can therefore confirm that the tutorial works OK in Cygwin64 with the above proviso. I've not added this to the list of common errors in the article as I don't have time to test repeatability and would like others to confirm that this is a real issue first. (PS: Diffutils also required as the build process uses cmp at this point) --[[User:Aj|Aj]] 16:49, 25 July 2014 (CDT)

PS: It also seems like in Cygwin64, the dependency libintl-devel is also not installed by default and needs to be added to Cygwin for successful compilation, even with --disable-nls. --[[User:Aj|Aj]] 06:29, 28 July 2014 (CDT)
