           Summary: Quotes in the top Makefile:217 break buildroot/kernel
                    config build under cygwin
           Product: buildroot

Quotes in the top Makefile:217 break buildroot/kernel config build under
cygwin:

HOST_LOADLIBES="-lcurses -lintl"

This results, for instance, in the following command line:

/usr/bin/gcc -I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -DLOCALE
-DKBUILD_NO_NLS
 -I/cygdrive/c/Work/buildroot/buildroot-2011.02/output/build/buildroot-config

/cygdrive/c/Work/buildroot/buildroot-2011.02/output/build/buildroot-config/conf.o

/cygdrive/c/Work/buildroot/buildroot-2011.02/output/build/buildroot-config/zconf.tab.o
 "-lcurses -lintl"
 -o
/cygdrive/c/Work/buildroot/buildroot-2011.02/output/build/buildroot-config/conf

And "-lcurses -lintl not found" error.

Fix: remove quotes:

HOST_LOADLIBES=-lcurses -lintl

Committed, thanks.

Out of interest, is Buildroot really working for you on Cygwin? I don't recall
ever hearing for any other Cygwin users.

I am using it on Linux, but parts of software we're deleloping on Windows using
MS Visual Studio for emulation win32 project and then cross-compiling the
source for the arm target.

So I used buildroot under cygwin to build arm uClibc and C++ cross-toolchain
(it works for me few years already). Trying to do this yesterday, it stopped
building on busybox. But I just didn't have enough time to see the problem. It
doesn't find some headers which are definitely exist (shadow.h).

Will be interesting if I could build whole file system and kernel under cygwin
in the end :-)  Don't say it is very important for us, but it is at least
interesting to try.
