Cygwin build error: ppremake wont actually run
Did the following:
-
Downloaded source from download page
-
Installed Cygwin
-
No configure in ppremake directory, so followed the instructions in BUILDINGFROMCVS.txt (not the exact filename, but you know which one I mean?)
-
Did:
./configure
make
make install
Now, if I do ./ppremake I get an access violation 0xc00000005 error.
This occurs even before main runs, since if I modify main as follows:
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
cout << “start” << endl;
string progname = argv[0];
extern char *optarg;
… then “start” never actually appears on the console (or anywhere).
A normal helloworld runs just fine, ie:
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << “blah” << endl;
return 0;
}
g++ -c test.o test.cpp
g++ -o test test.o
The helloworld runs just fine
Any ideas? Cygwin is whatever the current Cygwin version is on the website (downloaded it yesterday); the sourecode is whatever the sourcecode is in the 33~MB .zip file on the download page (again, downloaded it yesterday).
