[PPL-devel] Compiling PPL on x86-64 architecture on windows via cygwin

Hi Roberto.

Thank you for such a speedy response! I downloaded the snapshot provided at
the link and merged it with my original PPL1.2 folder. I made sure to used
the "--with-java-=DIR" flag and checked to make sure the ./configure script
found all the required Java files The configure script gave me a bunch of
the following errors unfortunatly:

checking for pl.exe... /usr/bin/pl.exe
pl: error 4892: warning, unrecognized argument (-dump-runtime-variables)
usage: pl scriptfile [options] ...or...  pl -prefab prefabname [options]

On the off chance that those errors were not a big deal I ran make after
the configure script was done. I was able to compile and install PPL
but after doing so I could not find the .jar file. There were a few
warnings about auto_pointer being deprecated but no errors (besides a few
errors with the docs). I expect the default install directory for Cygwin to
be in cygwin64/usr/local/ as that is where all the other ppl files are
(libppl.a, cygppl-15.dll, ppl.h, etc.), however, I am unsure if I am
looking in the wrong place at this point.

Thank you for your time!
