Sorry I broke Tinderbox compilation. It wan't my plan.
I don't know much about the Tinderbox machine nor the cygwin enviroment, but
it appears to be old. The 'uname -r' command for OS_RELEASE is "4.0".
Currently I am seeing either "2x.x" (B20.1) or "1.1.x" (latest) on my
machine. The makefiles use the fact that B20.1 has a space in the
'uname -r' result and 1.1.x build doesn't. It seems the problem occurs at
this point.
A quick solution for Tinderbox in another test:
ifeq ($(OS_RELEASE), 4.0)
define TRANSFORM_TO_DOS_PATH
sed 's|//[a-zA-Z]/|/|g' | sed 's|/|\\\\|g'
endef
endif
It can be placed after my nested block and will redefine
TRANSFORM_TO_DOS_PATH for the special case of Tinderbox or it can be
incorpated into the nesting structure to avoid the cygpath error.
The 'cygpath' is a command that I have on both my cygwin environments. I
thought it was standard in the cygwin environment. It is only needed under
the one of the 1.1.x builds. If nesting the above block, it can be moved to
just above where it is used and remove the annoying error Tinderbox is
printing.
