Hey all,
IOhannes asked on #dataflow about the winxp autobuild machine:
do you have any idea what happened to the xp-autobuild machine i have access to? that is: to it's /usr/local/include
I thought I'd answer here so it's in the archives. When you log into the winxp machine, you are logging into the Cygwin environment. Pd is built in the MinGW/MSYS environment. It is a limited shell, but still useful for interactive work, and you need to use it to reproduce the Pd auto-builds.
I created a shell script /usr/local/bin/msys to make it easier to start up MSYS. Just type 'msys' from Cygwin, and it'll start the MSYS shell.
More on that machine here:

thank's i will try that.
nevertheless i still wonder why C:\cygwin\usr\local\include is an asio-related file instead of a directory. i can hardly imagine that this is on purpose.

unfortunately it just gave me another error:
gcc bla.c bla.c:0: fatal error: can't open C:/cygwin/tmp/ccgPaaaa.s for writing: Permission denied compilation terminated.
does anyone now how to set gcc's temp directory?

The problem is with MSYS's tmp directory, it should work now. MSYS via ssh is a hack, but it's handy to have. All I can say is treat lightly and be careful, it is a bit fragile in this setup.
I'll be on #dataflow all day, if you still have troubles.

You need not say that last sentence... it's not like anyone would dispute that. it's just a matter of a cp command where the destination directory is not specified with a trailing-slash and at the same time does not exist.
can the auto-build install on any OS where the "include" directory does not exist yet? I guess that you could try it out with something like ./configure --prefix=/tmp/test where /tmp/test exists but /tmp/test/include does not.

it configures fine on linux if the /usr/local/include directory is non-existant. it refuses to configure if /usr/local/include is a file instead of a directory.

i haven't tested it, but i was under the impression that "--prefix" is there to specify the installation-target (according to "./configure --help") and has nothing to do with the compilation stage.
however, my problem is that configure stops when trying to test whether the compiler is able to produce executables, because gcc fails when it tries to access the content of /usr/local/include/

Oh. Then it must be some other package that was installed prior to trying to compile pd, and which has that bug that I'm talking about.

It was a mistake, I deleted it.

http://puredata.info/about/PdLab started as an 'about' page, but then turned into a 'docs' collection. I moved it to docs/developer:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/PdLab/
Is there anyway to turn the only locations into redirects in plone?
