Re: FW: gecko Segmentation fault when compiling

[tlake]

can you upload somewhere ?

Any Antivirus around ?

 

Here's a link to my cygcheck.out file.

I'm running Microsoft's anti-virus for Win 10 and Malwarebytes Premium.

can you test with these two disabled ?

 From what I see:

#1 you have 2 extra directories with possible colliding binary in front
of the cygwin one.

Path:   D:\cygwin64\mingw64\bin
         D:\cygwin64\d\LANGS\arm\bin
         D:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin
         D:\cygwin64\bin
...

  If you are mixing binaries between compilers and linkers a crash is
likely.

Can you test with just
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/:/usr/lib/lapack"

to exclude other programs ?

#2 you have installed every cygwin package including all
   debuginfo packages. Why ?

a bit extreme as solution. you are just making everything slower
and heavier then needed.

Especially when you can add it if you need it.  Every path in the list
is searched at times so you're slowing down the responses when the PATH
is extreme.

I uninstalled and deleted the entire cygwin64 directory and reinstalled using the defaults. The download time was much 
shorter but I still can't compile anything with the C compiler even with no anti-virus running. 
I'm surprised the default installation doesn't include make or dir.h. 
Adding make was no problem but it took me a while to find a package that contains dir.h.

Base cygwin installation is a POSIX userspace and essential Cygwin tools, it
does not include any compilers at all, quite predictable.

Why it should?

I think we need a "build-essential" metapackage.

Why it should?

Why? Because from a Windows perspective it seems like the whole purpose of
Cygwin is to be able to 
compile source code to run under Windows. It should include the tools to do
that in the default setup.

Exactly! I'm primarily a Windows programmer. I only compile Linux and Unix
programs when I have no other choice
and I certainly don't know all the ins and outs of those OSes. Anything that
makes Cygwin easier for Windows programmers is welcome!

dir.h is surely not a standard header for building a cygwin program.
It is clearly only for cross compiling for Windows

"cygcheck -p" and https://cygwin.com/packages/
are the basic tool to find any package component.

From the very first page of http://cygwin.com/ :

What...
...is it?

Cygwin is:
 - a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
 - a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.

Ability to compile programs is almost a byproduct of ability to compile itself.

If you want to compile native Windows programs, Cygwin is likely not the
tool you need.

RE: FW: gecko Segmentation fault when compiling

[tlake]

If you want to compile native Windows programs, Cygwin is likely not the
tool you need.

If you can tell me another way to compile C source code that was written to
run under Linux
to run them on Windows without having to change them, I'm all ears!

I would suggest base-devel as the name of the metapackage.  But what
exactly should that include?  Should there be more than one metapackage
that adds more complex tools?

build-essential is a name of a well-known Debian metapackage.

> But what exactly should that include?

Package: build-essential
State: not installed
Version: 12.1ubuntu2
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 20,5 k
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:5.2), g++ (>= 4:5.2), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.11)

In case of Cygwin, it should probably include autotools and cygport.

> Should there be more than one metapackage that adds more complex tools?

IDK, I'm not a developer myself.
