Hi,
When I compile using '/bin/g++ -V2.95.2-5 ...' I get
gcc: file path prefix `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-5/' never used
This is because g++ uses a different spec path than when using a plain g++.
I am not sure if this is a cygwin issue or a gcc one, but this behaviour is
certainly surprizing:
joseph@HANSOLO ~/mm40/tests/auto_suite/DATA
$ /bin/g++ -V2.95.2-5 -v
Reading specs from /bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-5/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-5 19991024 (cygwin experimental)
g++: No input files
joseph@HANSOLO ~/mm40/tests/auto_suite/DATA
$ g++ -V2.95.2-5 -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-5/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-5 19991024 (cygwin experimental)
g++: No input files
-Joseph

I just updated my Cygwin distribution last night.
Hmm, there aren't any NT4 shortcuts that I can see...(yes, NT4
can handle shortcuts in much the same way that Unix handles
certain types of Symlinks. Typically these shortcuts are
postfixed with ".lnk". Win9x and WinME, afaik, are incapable of
handling such things, even though they have a ".lnk" postfix
available).
Under Bash:
I too have noticed, when doing "gcc -v" that the gcc reference
used is set to usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-5/specs.
There is something that looks like a symlink, but it appears to
be invalid (in other words, I can not run "ls" on the link from
Bash to get the listing of the subsequent subdirectories, such
as gcc-lib). Are the symlinks I am seeing only "soft" links?
When running "g++ -v" a similar phenomenon occurs.
Peace,
Paul G.
