Compile error on cygwin

[Dan Bolser]

Hi, 

I am am new to cygwin, so if this email lacks any glaring detail,
please let me know how I can send it along.

Rsync is the first app I have tried to install on cygwin, I have version
2.5.5 already installed, but I am trying to upgrade to remove the 'rsync
hangs with cygwin' problem.

I am trying to install verison 2.6.2 from rsync-2.6.2.tar.gz. 

Configure runs fine, but make gives me the following output...

$ make
gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W  -c rsync.c -o rsync.o
In file included from rsync.c:23:
rsync.h:276:17: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:278:20: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:280:21: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:303:20: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:305:19: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:315:18: operator '==' has no left operand
rsync.h:317:19: operator '==' has no left operand
make: *** [rsync.o] Error 1


I tried to build version 2.4.0 as per the exelent instructions provided
by Paul Thompson at

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00129.html


And it does compile, creating an rsync.exe

However, this exe is mostly unresponsive, and when it does do something it
does a core dump. i.e. 

$ ./rsync --verions
rsync: unknown option -- verions
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ ./rsync --version

$ ./rsync --help
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


The above error (about ==) does not appear in google, so any help you
could offer a novice would be greatly appreciated.

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 GENUS 1.3.15(0.63/3/2) 2002-11-06 22:41 i686 unknown

Thanks,
Dan.
