PLATFORM: Cygwin, ... FILE: src/Makefile.in -> build/.../src/Makefile PRECONDITION: Garbage Collector gc not installed PRECONDITION: CXXFLAGS contains no "-fPIC" option In this case, the CPP include path to the contributed gc under "src/Synopsis/gc" is missing. Therefore, build fails with include errors (gc_cpp.h) and compile errors. WORK-AROUNDS: 1. QUICKFIX: Move GC_LIB statement out of "ifneq ..." -> Always defined (PROBLEM: When GC is externally defined???). 2. Build GC first and install it. Afterwards Synopsis can be built without any problems.

I wonder why this fails, as the -fPIC flag is added only if the outer configure sets it for Synopsis' own targets (the whole point was not to have to mess with gc's build system myself). Does this mean 'g++ -fPIC synopsis_code.cc' works but 'gcc -fPIC gc_code.cpp' does not ?

It appears this was actually a typo (the definition of GC_LIB shouldn't be part of the conditional block).
