compiling windows binary using cygwin fails

[skeept]

I am trying to build windows binary using cygwin. The command line and the error I get is bellow.

make -f Make_cyg.mak SHELL=bash CC=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc CXX=i686-pc-cygwin-g++ RC=windres ARCH=i686 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32- USEDLL=no PYTHON=/cygdrive/c/Python27 PYTHON_VER=27 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes PERL=/cygdrive/c/htemp/Perl PERL_VER=516 DYNAMIC_PERL=yes GUI=yes gvim.exe

eval.c: In function ‘modify_fname’:
eval.c:23845:16: error: ‘_MAX_PATH’ undeclared (first use in this function)
eval.c:23845:16: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Make_cyg.mak:634: recipe for target `gobj/eval.o' failed
make: *** [gobj/eval.o] Error 1

The same happens if I use Make_ming.mak instead of Make_cyg.mak.

I am not sure if something is wrong with my cygwin but I have compiled vim in my computer like this before.

Any ideas of what is going wrong?

Thanks,

_MAX_PATH is actually defined (rather exclusively) in Make_cyg.mak
(line 438) and reused subsequently. As a quick workaround, you could
just specify its actual value. But I'd bet something in the compiler
call is wrong for you.

If you want to build a Win32 binary, use i686-pc-mingw32-gcc or
i686-w64-mingw-gcc, not i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.
i686-pc-cygwin-gcc is a compiler for building cygwin binary.

Thanks for you help.
Indeed changing to a different compiler name allows me to build gvim, although it fails when it tries to build gvimext:

This is not a big deal, since the program I really wanted to build is the gvim binary.
