[Texmacs-dev] TeXmacs-1.99.4 build failure

[Marco Atzeri]

Hi,
I am the current packager for cygwin.
While building 1.99.4 with

configure --with-iconv=/usr --with-imlib2=linked --with-gs
--with-qt=${QT4_QTDIR}

the build stop at

g++ -lz -Wl,-stack,8388608 -dynamic Objects/ANSIFontWriter.o 
Objects/AbstractContentContext.o Objects/AbstractWrittenFont.o 
Objects/Ascii7Encoding.o Objects/CFF ...

makefile:436: recipe for target 'Objects/texmacs-shared.bin' failed

For what I see on src/System/Link/socket_notifier.cpp
the "#ifndef QTTEXMACS"  excludes the definition of
  remove_notifier, perform_select and add_notifier

as CPPFLAGS =  .. -DQTTEXMACS

while on pipe_link.cpp the equivalent check

"#if !(defined (QTTEXMACS) && (defined (__MINGW__) || defined 
(__MINGW32__) || defined (QTPIPES)))"

has not the same effect, as on CYGWIN it is true,
and remove_notifier is used.
May be the check should be written differently ?

Question:
  "remove_notifier" and similars should be defined or not ?

On TeXmacs-1.99.2 , the build defined "remove_notifier"

$ grep remove_notifier *
Binary file pipe_link.o matches
Binary file qt_gui.o matches
Binary file socket_link.o matches
Binary file socket_notifier.o matches
Binary file socket_server.o matches
Binary file texmacs-shared.bin matches
