gEDA-dev: Installing gEDA/gaf on Windows - the Cygwin way - a glitch

[Amans,Ross]

I tried to install gEDA/gaf on Windows - the Cygwin way, but had a
problem, which I fixed. The webpage says:


Step 4


$ make open


Make install


 


The make install gave errors:


( cd geda-symbols-1.4.0; \

        ./configure --prefix=/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/ramans/geda --with-xdgdatadir=/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/ramans/.local/share --with-kdedatadir=/cygdrive/c/Documents and
Settings/ramans/.kde/share --disable-stroke )

configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub and failed

make: *** [geda-symbols-1.4.0/Makefile] Error 1


 


 


So I did make reconfig, which worked, with warnings, and then make
install, which ran much better. The web page needs an update to say 


Make oen


Make reconfig


Make install
