Build GNUMake from git with mingw-w64

[Алексей Павлов]

Hi!

I have troubles with building Make from git with mingw-w64 compiler. I has
error:

mv -f .deps/loadapi.Tpo .deps/loadapi.Po

'sync_handle_t' is defined in job.h, which is included by main.c. Ar=

OUTPUT_SYNC_ and WINDOWS32 defined in your config.h?

Btw: you seem to be using the configure script, instead of the
build_w32.bat batch file. If so, please be advised that this build
procedure will not produce the libgnumake-1.dll.a import library that
is required to build GNU Make dynamic extensions. Patches to add tha=

are welcome.

That's because the configure script was not updated to compile the
added file w32/compat/posixfcn.c. Patches are welcome.

The latest git should compile for you without OUTPUT_SYNC defined, so
that is another option.

Once again: I suggest to use the build_w32.bat script for building a
MinGW Make. That script is currently the only officially supported
way of building the Windows port of Make, and it works out of git as
well. It defines OUTPUT_SYNC automatically, and compiles all the
source files needed for that.

Thanks, I pushed that.

Would you also mind adding the necessary stuff to produce the
libgnumake import library? All it needs is to add this to the final
link command:

-Wl,--out-implib=3Dlibgnumake-1.dll.a

TIA
