Somewhere around 0.7.1 a change was made to the build process of the win32
setup.exe that is causing me a weird error with cygwin b19. In 0.7.0,
relative paths were used to point to some source and object files. In .7.1
and later, it appears a fully qualified path name is being used. When
ask_gendata is executed as part of the build, it fails fopen'ing the
output file. I have attached some snippets of my builds to the end of this
message. Can anyone tell me why the change was made? Can it possibly be
undone?
