Eh, not a big deal, you can cd to it and it just fine.<BR>
<BR>
I removed it from my distribution building and regular building.<BR>
It fails to build on I386_CYGWIN (aka NT386GNU), AND my filtering wasn't working.<BR>
I "merely" need to fix one or the other or just comment it out when building Cygwin, which is rare.<BR>
<BR>
See...I figured..that the Cygwin serial package should still use the Win32 source.<BR>
However, that has a dependency on FileWin32.m3, which is only built in "full Win32" platforms.<BR>
If you do try to compile FileWin32.m3, it errors, because it exports File, and I guess maybe FileWin32.<BR>
Possibly I just need to have Quake do a bit of munging such that the first line of FileWin32.m3 is altered.<BR>
The NT386 version would be:<BR>
MODULE FileWin32 EXPORTS File.<BR>
<BR>
The NT386GNU version would be:<BR>
MODULE FileWin32;<BR>
<BR>
something like that.<BR>
<BR>
Or push the contents into another module, and then have a thin NT386 module export it as File.<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, it's not a huge deal.<BR>
The main downfall is I "temporarily" no longer build it, on any platform.<BR>
<BR>
Fixing the filtering is a better "temporary" solution, since that'd restore me to building it for all but NT386GNU.<BR>
<BR>
Another avenue is to see if the Posix version works on Cygwin.<BR>
I think the Cygwin serial users however are a "multiple small intersection" -- people who use Modula-3 (small) intersected with people who use Cygwin (medium) (probably at zero here) intersected with people who use serial (very small) => very very very small, so that's not worth getting it to work.<BR>

<DIV>Why are we skipping serial package? I use serial I/O on Windows. If you need my sources, let me know and I'll supply.</DIV>

For now, just skip it. And fix line endings. And try out the alternate 'clean' path in make-dist<BR><BR><BR></DIV></body>
