Re: installing from source in Windows

I retried after make maintainer-clean and same problem -

Here's a question: is my source download getting mangled by unpacking
with WinZip instead of gzip?

I'm beginning to suspect so.

I don't have gzip installed. And frankly, I don't know how - the GNU
site doesn't seem to have a step-by-step..

Anyway, thought I'd throw that out there as a possible cause for a
failed source build...

Thanks,
John

OK. According to your config.log, configure tests "long int" and
determines it's only 32 bits, so tries "long long int" and determines
that it's 64 bits wide. So there is a 64-bit type available. This sets
HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64=1 .

That should cause this test in c.h to pass:

#ifdef HAVE_LONG_INT_64
// blah blah
#elif defined(HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64)
// blah blah
#else
/* neither HAVE_LONG_INT_64 nor HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 */
#error must have a working 64-bit integer datatype
#endif

... but the error you're getting suggests that it doesn't.

Have you re-tried all this on a clean source tree, running under the
msys shell from start to finish?
