Re: gcc not producing executables

Re: gcc not producing executables

[Kiran Prakash]

I think this is important enough to get a mention in the FAQ,
that having different versions of cygwin1.dll on the path, for
example in the cygwin directory, could easily cause various 
miscellanous problems  (like no executables, improper resizing
or applications) etc. Currently it just says you shouldnt, but 
doesnt give indication of symptoms ...

Seasons Greetings,

Or maybe you could read the cygwin email archives where this observation
has been made more than once.  Or, maybe you could read the online
documentation where this option is mentioned.

It's obviously an oversight in the help output.  It's corrected in the
sources but I'm not going to make a new cygwin release just to fix the
cygcheck help.

I wasn't berating you for not doing the right thing.  I was merely
explaining YA that there was a more efficient way to do this.

Have fun.

cygcheck -c binutils

will do the same thing.

Yes,

$ cygcheck.exe -s|grep binutils
binutils            20011002-1

Hi,

guess this is a stupid question but I've no idea what could be wrong
since gcc doesn't even say anything :(. I was trying to upgrade from ???
(not too old) to the newest version and now gcc stopped working, I then
removed the whole c:\cygwin dir and reinstalled the newest version, but
still get the same:

syzop@SYZ ~
$ cat >bla.c
int main() { printf ("Test\n"); }
*ctrl d*

syzop@SYZ ~
$ gcc -o bla bla.c

I've been trying to strace the stuff and I get pretty much of, this:
1403 2444959 [main] collect2 1084 symlink_info::check:
GetFileAttributesA (C:\cygwin\blablablaetc) failed (also of bla.exe
which should be written), don't know if that's the cause of the problem.

I hope somebody can help me,

gcc not producing executables

[Syzop]

Hi,

guess this is a stupid question but I've no idea what could be wrong
since gcc doesn't even say anything :(.
I was trying to upgrade from ??? (not too old) to the newest version and now gcc
stopped working, I then removed the whole c:\cygwin dir and reinstalled the newest
version, but still get the same:

syzop@SYZ ~
$ cat >bla.c
int main() { printf ("Test\n"); }
*ctrl d*

syzop@SYZ ~
$ gcc -o bla bla.c

syzop@SYZ ~
$ ls -al
total 1
drwxr-xr-x    2 syzop    None            0 Dec 24 18:27 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 syzop    None            0 Dec 24 18:27 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 syzop    None           35 Dec 24 18:34 bla.c

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specs
gcc version 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)

I've been trying to strace the stuff and I get pretty much of, this:
 1403 2444959 [main] collect2 1084 symlink_info::check: GetFileAttributesA (C:\cygwin\blablablaetc) failed
(also of bla.exe which should be written), don't know if that's the cause of the problem.

I hope somebody can help me,

    B. Matthys.
