Thread: ./configure returns errors

./configure returns errors

From
"Joyce Gaoiran"
Date:
When I use the ./configure command from cygwin (for NT), it doesn't finish
and returns the following error when checking whether make sets ${MAKE}...:
    eval: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

I put various echo statements in the configure file for debugging.  It
doesn't get past this line:
    eval `${MAKE-make} -f conftestmake 2>/dev/null | grep temp=`

I echoed the above: eval `${MAKE-make} -f conftestmake 2>/dev/null | grep
temp=`  and it returned the following:
    ac_maketemp=\make"

Is that the unterminated quote string?  I can't find where it is set.  Seems
like all quotes have a closing quote for each open quote.  Can somebody help
me?

Thanks.

Joyce

Your problem seems to be more of a generic Cygwin nature than related
specifically to PostgreSQL.  I would check the following standard issues:

1. text versus binary -- Are you using binary mounts?
2. Cygwin, gcc, sh, make, etc. versions -- Are you using the latest versions?

Please send the output of cygcheck -r -s -v to:

    cygwin@sources.redhat.com

you will probably get better (and faster) help there.

Thanks,
Jason
