Problems building recent Emacs-CVS on Cygwin

[Angelo Graziosi]

I want to flag that the build of Emacs fails (toward the end, I think) as
follow:
---------------------------------------------------------------
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/emacs/.build/leim'
mkdir quail
touch stamp-subdir

          echo "changed" > changed.tit

--------------------------------------------------------------- 

I did the last useful build with CVS-20070106 (cvs... -D 20070106...). 


I have observed that deleting LC_ALL=C from leim/Makefile.in allows for
the build to be completed but the resulting Emacs does not work.

Also, increasing the nested level of building directory
(/home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin_varie/emacs-cvs/Build/emacs/.build instead
of /tmp/emacs/.build) allows for the build to be stopped near the end,
i.e. it fail later.



In recent src/ChangeLog there is written:
------------------------------------------
2007-01-13  Eli Zaretskii  <address@hidden>

        * process.c (Fdelete_process, Fprocess_id, sigchld_handler): Copy
        PID into EMACS_INT to avoid GCC warnings.

------------------------------------------



To build I use GCC 4.0.3 (on Cygwin, as you remember, 3.4.4 gives an Emacs
that segment faults) and there is, in any case, the warning:
-------------------------------------------
/tmp/emacs/src/process.c: In function 'status_message':
/tmp/emacs/src/process.c:491: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from
pointer target type
-------------------------------------------

in building 'temacs.exe' (after 'configure' and toward the end).




Cheers,

   Angelo.
