Re: Problems building Xemacs/i686-pc-cygwin

[David Starks-Browning <starksb at ebi dot ac dot uk>]

While you're at it, David, have you taken *any* of my advice?

1) Check setup logs to make sure your gdbm package installation is intact;

2) Run configure without specifying the sound option, so your final
   broken gcc command is *only* broken w.r.t. gdbm;

3) Run your gcc command manually with -v (Charles repeats this and
   takes it further).

Otherwise, I won't waste my time reading your 6500+ line messages
carefully and replying to them thoughtfully.  In that case you can
take me off the recipients list, too.

Cheers,
David
