Hi, I wouldn't be too sure it's not a Cygwin problem; or at least someone there might be able to help you - they are *very* knowledgeable. The archives (search them first) for the mailing list you want is: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ You will have to subscribe to it (see http://cygwin.com/lists.html at the bottom of the page) to be able to post (if you have a newsreader you can also access it via Gmane http://gmane.org/); but be sure to read the Cygwin FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq/) and the mailing list posting guidelines (http://cygwin.com/problems.html) before posting. > And,the person who tell me to ask Cygwin,tell me that cygwin is not > good to use gcc. The person was wrong! GCC works perfectly well with Cygwin (in fact Cygwin is built with GCC) - I use it in my day-to-day work. > But what can I use?Which GCC can I use on Win32?Which > cross-GCC can I use on Win32?NO!No any one except Cygwin. There is another port of GCC to Win32 called MinGW. You can find it at: http://www.mingw.org/ Note that MinGW is what it says: a "minimalist" port (basically just the compiler and the necessary tool chain to run configure scripts), whereas Cygwin is a full Posix (Unix-like) emulation layer for Win32.
