gcc problems

[Andrew Sidwell]

Hello all,
  I'm sorry if this has been solved before, but I can't see it on the 
mailing list archives, so I'm guessing it's not.

  I'm having problems compiling anything written in C, but then again I 
don't use any other languages, so I can't tell.

  I get a little error box with the title 'Error Starting Program', and the 
text, "The COLLECT2.EXE file is linked to missing export 
CYGWIN1.DLL:_ctype_.". In the Cygwin window itself, there is the error:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 
'/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/collect2..exe': Permission denied.

  I've reinstalled cygwin several times, the most recent being today. Every 
simgle time the error message has been the same, IIRC.

  Thanks in advance,
--

I'm assuming you edited this and that it actually read -luser32.  Obviously,
this means you're missing something.  You can determine what package you're 
missing by visiting <http://cygwin.com/packages/> and entering the name of
the file you're missing ('libuser32.a' in this case).  It will tell you 
the package you need to install ('w32api').  Rerun 'setup' and select this
package for installation.

Sounds like you're missing more stuff.  If you can't figure out what's 
missing, follow the problem reporting guidelines given at:

>>Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html


This should either provide the answer in the process of developing a 
problem report to send to the list or will give those here on the list
some information by which to evaluate your local installation's state
when you submit the report.

GCC problems

[Robert Golovniov]

Hello,

  I am trying to complile some programs but get this error message:

  "/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
  cannot find -lusr32
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

  Another package add these two lines:

  "*** The command '/usr/bin/gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c' failed
  *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler."

  Can anybody suggest how to fix it? Where do I set this variable?

You are not using the standard cygwin gcc compiler.  Ask *swarm* for
help.  It doesn't make a lot of sense to grab a compiler from one place and
ask for help for it from another place.

I have Cygwin´s .bashrc customized for swarm in order to use the suite gcc
distributed with Swarm (www.Swarm.org). Some additional info:

$ gcc -v

Any help would be apreciated...

Thanks in advance.

You've most likely got another copy of cygwin1.dll in your path. What
does cygcheck -s show?

How'd you manage to install gcc without binutils?  Did you use setup.exe 
and consciously override the install of binutils (installing gcc will 
install binutils if you tell it not to)?  If you didn't use setup.exe,
then that's your problem.  The solution to either of these two scenarios
is "don't do that"(tm).  The way to avoid these types of problems in 
general is to use setup.exe and do what it tells you unless you're 
absolutely sure that your needs aren't met by setup.exe.  If setup.exe
won't give you what you want, you're free to proceed with any experimental
installation that you like of course.  Unfortunately for you (perhaps),
this list can't invest any time finding the problems in your custom 
configuration, assuming that's what you have or were targetting.  

Hope that helps some,

Here's a clarification of the error messages and what caused them:

On a compile using GCC, a little error box with the title 'Error Starting 
Program' pops up, with the text, "The COLLECT2.EXE file is linked to missing 
export CYGWIN1.DLL:_ctype_.".

In the Cygwin window itself, there is the message:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 
'/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/collect2..exe': Permission denied.

I'm using Win98SE, without any bcc tools, etc. installed.

Thanks in advance,

Re: GCC problems

[Tim Prince]

Does the current cygwin installation allow you to forget to install binutils
etc?  It needs some kind of dependency list.

Most packages which give you a message like that store an indication of what
they attempted to do, e.g. in config.log.  That would tell you what command
it tried to execute and how it failed.
