Hi,
I am am new to cygwin, so if this email lacks any glaring detail,
please let me know how I can send it along.
Rsync is the first app I have tried to install on cygwin, I have version
2.5.5 already installed, but I am trying to upgrade to remove the 'rsync
hangs with cygwin' problem.
I am trying to install verison 2.6.2 from rsync-2.6.2.tar.gz.
Configure runs fine, but make gives me the following output...
$ make
gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -c rsync.c -o rsync.o
In file included from rsync.c:23:
rsync.h:276:17: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:278:20: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:280:21: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:303:20: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:305:19: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:315:18: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:317:19: operator '==' has no left operand
make: *** [rsync.o] Error 1
I tried to build version 2.4.0 as per the exelent instructions provided
by Paul Thompson at
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00129.html
And it does compile, creating an rsync.exe
However, this exe is mostly unresponsive, and when it does do something it
does a core dump. i.e.
$ ./rsync --verions
rsync: unknown option -- verions
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ ./rsync --version
$ ./rsync --help
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The above error (about ==) does not appear in google, so any help you
could offer a novice would be greatly appreciated.
