From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Victor Schneider To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Subject: Output redirection, file creation, and libjpeg.a Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 10:20:00 -0000 Message-id: <1.5.4.16.19971012132202.2567965e@pop1.ibm.net> X-SW-Source: 1997-10/msg00236.html There's a curious problem with porting the jpeg-6 and jpeg-6a libraries to cygwin32: They compile with no problem, and running `make test' confirms that they work, but the `cjpeg' and `djpeg' utilities appear to have problems (a) creating files and (b) using the input and output redirection operators (`<' and `>'). When you generate a .gif file from a .jpg file using djpeg, you get `spurious symbol' error messages from lview31.exe on the resulting .gif file. I think that results from some problem using `>' to generate the resulting .gif file. I get the impression that cygwin32 uses the Dos '>' operator and gets junk added in to the redirection process. Either that, or bash.exe is doing something. Using the `-outputfile' option in djpeg yields an output file of zero length. Since this all works under other operating systems like Linux, I have to assume that the problem is somewhere in the buck-passing between native Dos and cygwin32. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
