[webkit-dev] problem compiling Torchmobile code

[David Kirkman]

When I compile from MSVS, I get errors like this:

gcc: ..domAttr.idl: No such file or directory
gcc: warning: `-x c++' after last input file has no effect
gcc: no input files

Note that ..\dom\Attr.idl gets collapsed to ..domAttr.idl so the file is not
found.

Any thoughts on how to fix?

Perhaps it would help if you told me which tools, and which versions you are
using.  Which Perl are you using?  Which gcc?  I am using Cygwin tools as
described on webkit.org for building on windows.

Thanks.
