Looks like something that mutt depends upon is missing or does not have
the execute bit set.

Works like a champ on my system.

try 'strace mutt -s test elik@bhphotovideo.com'

Assuming you're on a linux system.  If you're running Solaris, that'll
be 'truss' instead.

Hello Eli,

Seems like you're missing the mutt package. Run setup.exe and check if
it is installed.

What am I doing wrong?

[Snow, Deborah]

Hello,
  I am trying to compile C++ software done under Visual Studio
on Windows 2000 to cygwin.  I am new to cygwin.

  I need to include windows.h, winsock2.h in my code.
  I have simple functions such as lseek, close, read and write in the code.
  I cannot include io.h because I compile with g++ -ansi and
  the define _STRICT_ANSI won't allow prototypes for these functions
  to be set.  Don't know why, they are pretty common.

  I tried to find out elsewhere they are prototyped in cygwin, and it looks
like unistd.h.
  So I included unistd.h.

   When I try to compile including unistd.h I get a conflict between
  the definitions of gethostname between unistd.h and winsock.h..
  What is the secret to getting ansi code to compile under cygwin?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hi Brandon,

Try:
gcc -o hello.exe hello.c

or
gcc -c hello.c
gcc -o hello.exe hello.o

The Cygnus gnu-win32 version of GCC is to aid in porting UNIX programs 
to WIN32.  You should have a working knowledge of UNIX.  There are some 
who have taken this work and gotten rid of the UNIX layer (see Colin 
Peters' page and Mumit Khan's page).  

The ln command is a "link" command but it is relation to creating 
pointers to files on disk with a different name.  IE: ln hello.c 
goodbye.c would create a pointer file named goodbye.c pointing to 
hello.c.  If you edit goodbye.c you would really be editing hello.c.  
There are two types of links a "hard link" and a "symbolic link".  The 
hard link is not supported on W95,  to use symbolic links you would use 
"ln -s realfile pointerfile".

what am i doing wrong?

[BMullenber]

I have really no idea how to link a object file into a exec program or even
how to run g++. I tried a simple hello program and had no success.  Anyone
know how to link a program and want to help me, i made an obj file using
another compiler?

what exec program is the linker, is it ln.exe?

C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin>ln C:\compiler\work\hello.obj
/GNUWIN32/B18/H-I386~1/BIN/LN.EXE: cannot create hard link `./C:\compiler
ello.obj' to `C:\compiler\work\hello.obj': No such file or directory

Also, I set the Variables and Path too, is this correct?  I have win95.

cd\gnuwin32\b18\
set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\
PATH=C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\bin
set TCL_LIBRARY=C:\gnuwin32\b18\tcl\lib\tcl7.6
set GDBTK_LIBRARY=C:\gnuwin32\b18\share\gdbtcl
