gcc 3.2 and symbolic links problem

gcc 3.2 and symbolic links problem

[Gerry Reno]

  I recently upgraded to cygwin 1.5.3 and to Mingw 3.0.0 and I now
notice that gcc will fail when trying to compile files that are
symlinks.  I tried deleting and recreating the link - still fails.  I
can read all the files and use all other tools with these symlinks. 
Has anyone else seen this problem with gcc 3.2?

thx,
Gerry Reno

The error looks like:

$ ls -l myfile.c
lrwxrwxrwx    1 greno    None          110 Sep  6 19:06 myfile.c ->
../myfile.c

gcc -c myfile.c -o myfile.o
gcc.exe: myfile.c: No such file or directory
gcc.exe: no input files

$gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)

*MINGW*. It shouldn't surprise you that a native Windows program is unable
to understand Cygwin symlinks.

No, because you are *not* using gcc 3.2.

This is Mingw's gcc.  You need to make sure you invoke Cygwin's gcc.
It will understand the symlink.

I have compiled these programs before with the symlinks.  Yes it was
with cygwin and not mingw.  I just changed my PATH and its compiling.  

thx,
