compilation of pnet under mingw - missing gz files and 'cli-unknown-ar.exe'

Hi,

I m using the latest dotgnu source code, and compiling under windows 2000
using mingw. I could compile treecc, and pnetlib, but while compiling pnet i
got following 2 errors, i tried a workaround for the 1st problem to
continue, but do not know whether it is correct. But for the second problem
i have not been able to find a workaround:

1. 'make install' stops in numerous places because it is not able to find
following files:
ilasm.1.gz
ilsize.1.gz
cscc-cpp.1.gz
cscc.1.gz

i manually gzip'ed the <filename>.1 version to <filename>.1.gz and
compilation continued.

2. 'make install' stops after executing following commands:
-----------------

rm -f /usr/local/bin/cli-unknown-ranlib.exe
ln ilranlib.exe /usr/local/bin/cli-unknown-ranlib.exe
*rm -f /usr/local/bin/cli-unknown-ar.exe*
a="/usr/local/bin/cli-unknown-ar.exe"; b=.${a%/*}/b; c="/mingw/bin/ar";
d=.${c%/*}//; e=; \
  while [ ."${b%%/*}" = ."${d%%/*}" ]; do b=${b#*/}; d=${d#*/}; done; \
  while [ ."$b" != ."b" ]; do b=${b#*/}; e=../$e; done;         \
  ln "$e${d%/}${c##*/}" "$a"
*ln: creating hard link `/usr/local/bin/cli-unknown-ar.exe' to
`../../../mingw/bin/ar': No such file or directory
*make[2]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mingw/DotGNU/pnet-0.7.4/ilranlib'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mingw/DotGNU/pnet-0.7.4/ilranlib'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

-----------------

here the problem seems to be that the makefile is trying to use '
cli-unknown-ar.exe' which it has already deleted in the previous command...
it seems there could be some problem in the generated makefile.

any suggestions in resolving the 2 issues would be very helpful.

Thanks and Regards,

Bikram
