Thread: 7.0.2 on Windows 2000

greetings,

i'm trying to compile 7.0.2 for a windows 2000 box. make works along quite
happily until it hits directory backend/access/rtree. there the linker
command fails with an error about an unsupported PEI architecture pe-i386.

exact linker command: ld -r -o SUBSYS.o rtget.o rtproc.o rtree.o rtscan.o
rtstrat.o
exact error message: Unsupported PEI architecture: pe-i386

target subsys.o is created but 0 length. restarting make ignores the
described error, but creates the same one in the next directory in sequence.

anybody out there any idea what is going wrong here? any help greatly
appreciated.

This error must be cygwin-related. There were some problems with make and
other tools - please check the cygwin mailing list archives at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin or try the newest versions.
