Compiling latest svn trunk (17130) fails

I checked out the latest from subversion this afternoon after #779 was fixed, and the build process fails due to a problem with a file generated during the compilation process.

after running make:

Code: Select all

srcdir=.. builddir=.. ../toolbox --update-version if gcc -mno-cygwin -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml -D_OFF_T_ -D_off_t=long -DSYS_MINGW32 -I../include `top_builddir=".." ../ -version.o -MD -MP -MF "misc/.deps/libvlc_a-version.Tpo" -c -o misc/libvlc_a-version.o `test -f 'misc/version.c' || echo './'`misc/version.c; \ then mv -f "misc/.deps/libvlc_a-version.Tpo" "misc/.deps/libvlc_a-version.Po"; else rm -f "misc/.deps/libvlc_a-version.Tpo"; exit 1; fi misc/version.c:6: error: missing terminating " character misc/version.c:7: error: missing terminating " character misc/version.c:7: error: parse error at end of input make[4]: *** [misc/libvlc_a-version.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/sandbox/vlc/trunk/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/sandbox/vlc/trunk/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/sandbox/vlc/trunk/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/sandbox/vlc/trunk' make: *** [all] Error 2 bash-3.1$
problem file, version.c

Code: Select all

"; occured after the changeset number :roll:

Its a problem with the newer version of cygwin, not the build process. The folks on IRC seem to think that going to the older version should help. Try it and report back here about the results.

Hello,
I've installed the Cygwin 1.5.19-4 (before I was working with 1.5.21-1) but the error is the same. :(
Any idea?
Thank you
