Re: Cannot compile my first Cygwin program

Re: Cannot compile my first Cygwin program

[Dockeen]

Max Bowsher made a very important point from a diagnostic point, 
he said:

"Run the command "gcc -v" and post the output."

This may give a tipoff if something is wrong with your gcc install.
Also run:

which gcc

and give the results.  This will tell us where gcc is coming from,
and whether there might be interference from somewhere.

By the way, did you try the suggestion to reinstall gcc (which
is in the devel category)???

Congratulations.  Now for the next lesson:  don't call your test
application "test" (or test.exe).  You will probably have difficulty
distinguishing it from the bash shell builtin "test" and
/usr/bin/test.

David

Re: Cannot compile my first Cygwin program

[Janos Blazi]

Now everything works. I knew that I had never downloaded gcc before; but I
downloaded Free Pascal maybe a year ago and they had this old version of gcc
included.
Now I get

d:\cygwin\home\Administrator\c-programme>gcc -v
gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/specs

and I could compile my test.cpp.

Thank you for your help.

Where did you download Cygwin from? 
Because that version of gcc is definitely not from any Cygwin release in the past 3 years or so.

The error messages you posted showed backslashes in the error messages.
Cygwin gcc prints forward-slash paths in its error messages.

Right - This version of gcc is either not from Cygwin at all, or is truly
ancient.
You should probably remove your Cygwin install and install the latest
version.

This indicates that your installation is broken, not that you are supposed
to supply a command line option.

The -I option shouldn't be needed at all.

*Backslash paths* !?!?! From *Cygwin* gcc? Could you have some other gcc on
your Windows system?

Run the command "gcc -v" and post the output.

So / = d:\cygwin, but you don't want the -I option anyway.

So I did and now I receive a different set of error messages:

I do not undertsnad what you mean. I installed Cygwin into d:\cygwin.

> Dont know what the hell that means, can you post your source code?

The source code is something like

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  printf("Hello world\n");
  return 0;
}

(The problem is that I hav no infrastructure on Windows so I change to Linux 
to answer my mails and then change back to Windows.)

Try this instead:

gcc -I/cygwin/usr/include test.c -o test.exe

or

gcc test.c -o test.exe -I/cygwin/usr/include

(by the way you don't need to add the .exe on the exec filename. and just 
out of curiousity do you mean / instead of /cygwin?)

Its more easier this way

You really don't give very much information. Plus, that isn't the exact
error message. Its always better to copy and paste than to retype.

The '-I /cygwin/usr/include/sys' option is very odd. You should remove it.

It's probably worth reinstalling the gcc package (Just click the twisty icon
in setup until it says Reinstall.) If that doesn't work, then here is how to
give some more information about the problem:

Send the output of the command "cygcheck -svr" to the list (in an
attachment, preferably). Also send the output of "ls -l
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/*". Hint: you can just do "ls -l
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/* > /dev/clipboard", and then hit paste in
your mail program.

Max.

Cannot compile my first Cygwin program

[jblazi]

I am trying to compile my first cygwin application. Here is my command line:

gcc -I /cygwin/usr/include/sys test.c -o test.exe

and I get the error message

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1.plus': No such file or directory

Can anybody help me?
