Description (last modified by )
On my installation of Cywgin (on 64 bits Windows 7), building libfplll fails because make complains there is no rule to build fplll if I use MAKE=make -j4". Indeed there is one for fplll$(EXEEXT), but no for fplll and $(EXEEXT) is non empty on Cygwin. Nonetheless, if the file fplll.exe exists, then "make fplll" will happily tell you that its up to date and go on with its job.
This does not happen with a sequential build.
Use the spkg at http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpflori/libfplll-3.0.12.p3.spkg
And by the way the libfplll we ship is old and the problem is not present in the most recent version. See #12835. So I won't report this upstream.

Groumpf, I got it to install by not using a parallel build.

Yeah, I've never seen this because my machine is certainly always with one thread. I guess I never even thought to try it in parallel, but as it's XP I'm sure that wouldn't be very useful in any case.

Brief look at diff seems okay, and this installed fine on XP with passed (self, SAGE_CHECK=yes) tests. I obviously can't check whether this actually works in terms of multiple threads, though this is the right command to disable parallel make, and is only on Cygwin, so we should probably let it go through.

Same result on Mac and sage.math, and after ./sage -b passes the sage/libs/fplll tests as well. Let's get this in.

Or maybe Cywgin make used to automagically translate targets to add .exe extension and does not anymore.
