Hi,
it’s -o, and run “./configure” without the quotes.
Axel.
Hello Axel
I just tested the msvc7 configuration and it generated the makefile OK.
when I run “make” from with cygwin is it a make utility that is available from within cygwin or in my case it wants to run the borland make ??
I will look at trying to create the configuration for the borland compiler. I may need to pick your brains for this if that’s ok 
regards
david

Hello Philipe
Yes I doubt the borland would be suitable.
It doesn’t appear that I have the GNU make in my cygwin install. how can i tell if i have ?? I don’t recall specifically selecting it when I installed cygwin.

Hi,
You will need to rerun cygwin’s setup to install make (I think there is a package just for that).
Cheers,
Philippe.
OK I reinstalled cygwin with the make option and is now working.
Just one question.
What is the fundamental difference between the .cxx and .c source files ??
Hi,
The .cxx source are C++ files while the .c files are C files.
Cheers,
Philippe.

Do I force C++ compile on the .C files ??

Hi David,
You should have to worry about this. In the configure, you should be setting the value of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. CFLAGS will be used to compile old fashion C files and you should NOT force it to be C++ 
. CXXFLAGS will be used to compile C++ files and you can force the compiler to assume C++ (i.e. we use /TP for microsoft’s compiler).
Cheers,
Philippe.
OK this is what I have done so far. The stuff in red is what I’m not sure about.
Specifically what is the LDOUT flag and LIBP and LIBL flags ??
Also does the implib hack apply to borland ??

Hello Phillipe
I will try experimenting with that.
Also if I want to install CINT in any other directory other than c:\cint what would I have to change ??

david
[quote]Also if I want to install CINT in any other directory other than c:\cint what would I have to change ?? [/quote]Nothing . Well if you set CINTSYSDIR, set it to the new directory.
Cheers,
Philippe.
Hi,
or pass --prefix to configure, see configure --help.
Cheers, Axel.
