You are not using the right XML/Ada version. With AWS 1.4 you must use XML/Ada
1.0. But note that I'm not sure you can build the documentation with MSYS. It
works fine on Cygwin with the tetex package or UNIX.

This is wrong. The libz.a library is created during the AWS build. This
library is then placed into the AWS/lib directory.

Definitly something wrong in your installed package.

Seems like you do not have tex installed. I'm not sure there is a version for
plain Windows or MSYS. BTW AWS 1.4 comes with the doc in HTML, TEXT and .info
so you should not have to build it yourself.

I recommand that you do not mess with the makefile :) I know that AWS 1.4
build fine with MSYS so this is probably a problem with your
environment. First update XML/Ada and then if you still have problems try
updating MSYS. If this does not work please post the complete output for the
"make build".

Pascal.
