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

[Adam Matthew]

Hello, Roberto.

I just wanted to follow up with you. Firstly, I wanted to apologize for my
grammar in the last email. I looked into pl.exe. I do indeed have it,
however, the path to it does not have "usr" in it. My path to it is just
"cygwin64\bin" where "cygwin64" is the root directory for Cygwin. I also
figured I would include the "make install" although They mostly seem like
unrelated documentation errors:

make[4]: *** [Makefile:6: refman.pdf] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory
'/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc/user-c-interface.latex-dir'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1796: ppl-user-c-interface-1.3pre1.pdf] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat './ppl-user-c-interface-1.3pre1.pdf': No such
file or directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1690: install-pdf] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1429: install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'
make: *** [Makefile:553: install-recursive] Error 1

Note: "ppl-new" is the name of the folder I used to combine my old ppl1.2
folder with the newly downloaded snapshot folder.
