gtk+-2.12.10 build error

[henman tech email ne jp]

I am getting the following make error when trying to build gtk-2.12.10 for X-windows on the posix compliant CYGWIN_NT-5.1 system.

See the error message below.  I am not familiar with "the program, gdk-update-icon.cache", and would appreciate an help or advice to correct this problem.

For why is the file already there in the build processs or why shouldn't overwriting it be allowed?  Is this the problem??

-------------------------------- extract from make stdout and stderr output
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=../gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.loaders ./gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index		\
	   --source builtin_icons stock-icons > gtkbuiltincache.h.tmp &&        \
	mv gtkbuiltincache.h.tmp gtkbuiltincache.h
gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open file stock-icons/.icon-theme.cache : File exists
make[2]: *** [gtkbuiltincache.h] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gtk2/gtk+-2.12.10/gtk'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
