[tlbuild] Building failure[xindy]

[Angelo Graziosi]

For completeness, the failure happens only on Cygwin and with the recent 
changes in 'xindy' (May 13, I think): for example the build I did on 
20100424 was completed without problems. The shell in Cygwin is Bash:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.49(23)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

I have tried (litterally) what you suggest, but:

============================
$ echo "\"`/tmp/clisp/clisp-build/clisp  -q -norc -x '(progn 
(princ*lib-directory*) (values))'`\""
*** - EVAL: undefined function PRINC*LIB-DIRECTORY*

""
============================

So I think have not full understood what you ask :(

Ciao,
Angelo.
