cygwin cross compiler expects DOS paths for include directories, etc.

["Ben Bodley" <ben_bodley at hotmail dot com>]

Hello,


I have searched and trolled the net to find the answer to a problem I am
having building a cross-compiler for arm under cygwin.


I am wanting to develop applications for Symbian (EPOC) using gcc in a
cygwin enviornment.  I am using the Symbian supplied sources and patches for
gcc (No symbian specific source is patched, just a certain combination of
standard gcc patches from GNU).


I am using:

./configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin32 --prefix=/opt/s
ymbian/UIQ_21 --target=arm-epoc-pe

Then building and installing with no problems.


I try and compile an application however and:

$ arm-epoc-pe-g++ dialog.cpp -I/opt/symbian/UIQ_21/include
In file included from dialog.cpp:1:
dialog.h:3: No include path in which to find eikdialg.h
dialog.cpp:6: No include path in which to find eikchlst.h


However, if I use DOS pathnames in my include directory:

$ arm-epoc-pe-g++ dialog.cpp -Ic:/cygwin/opt/symbian/UIQ_21/include
In file included from c:\cygwin\opt\symbian\UIQ_21\include\e32std.h:1305,
                 from c:\cygwin\opt\symbian\UIQ_21\include\coeccntx.h:10,
                 from c:\cygwin\opt\symbian\UIQ_21\include\eikdialg.h:10,
                 from dialog.h:3,
                 from dialog.cpp:1:
c:\cygwin\opt\symbian\UIQ_21\include\e32des16.h:301: #error no typedef for
__TText


What have I done wrong??  I would prefer makefiles I create to be "generic"
between Linux and Windows (ie. no c:\ everywhere).  I was under the
impression that anything built under cygwin understood unix paths.


Thanks for any insights here guys.


Cheers,

Ben
