Hi every body,

I would like to build Abiword with Cygwin on Windows XP and I got errors
during build. You can see
Result in the fellowind line.

Abiword is locate to "E:\cygwin\abiword-2.4.0" with the windows path and
locate to "/abiword-2.4.0" with the Cygwin path(pwd).

I don't know why, the Makefile don't use the rigth Windows path. The
character '\' is missing between "E:\cygwin" and the folder of Abiword
"abiword-2.4.0". Then during the build, the makefile try to open the
fellowing file:

E:\cygwinabiword-2.4.0\abi\src\WIN32_1.5.18_i386_VC_OBJ\obj\expat\xmlparse.o
bj

But the right path is :
E:\cygwin\abiword-2.4.0\abi\src\WIN32_1.5.18_i386_VC_OBJ\obj\expat\xmlparse.
obj

Is someone can give me a hint?

Regard
Pierre
