much for taking care of it.

breaker in berkeleydb

Created attachment 52078 [details]
breaker in libxslt

There are 2 additional problems since DEV300 m2. Please see attachments

@vg: The breaks in berkeleydb and libxslt are caused by the removal of 
expporting of the dmake macro PWD from solenv/inc/startup/wnt/macros.mk.

I will attatch patches to add it in makefiles of berkeleydb and libxslt and 
remedies the breaks.

Patch for libxslt

Wait, wait, why is PWD exported there? The need to export it was stemming from
a dmake bug (fixed in 4.8 or so.). If you just without comment re-introduce it,
it might just go away again, when ause or I find it and thing this is not needed
anymore. So where is the bug?

@vq: As a side effect, the exporing of PWD had been helping the mentioned two 
external module build to use mixed path instead of cygwin path for the working 
directory. Without this, we have to modify the patch for configure scripts and 
makefiles conditionally for mingw.

I think just exporting PWD in mingw conditional part of the module makefiles 
in the two modules is simpler.

I am not opposed to exporting PWD, but we need a comment there pointing to this
explanation. Yes, that is a lucky coincidence that the PWD macro gets converted
to the mixed mode form and exporting it forces the following shell to use this
form.

Sounds a little fragile to me, but if it works for you ..

You should put it between

.IF "$(GUI)$(COM)"=="WNTGCC"
..
.ENDIF

as this is clearly platform dependent.

Closing the issue as the cws has already been integrated.
