egcs on cygwin32 i586

[op Span]

I am using gnuwin32 b18, trying to compile the latest (1207) snapshot on a
133 pentium with win95. It fails at:

make bootstrap

prefix.c            : Undefined reference to : RegOpenKeyExA@20
                          Undefined reference to : ReqQueryValueExA@24

How  cums this?
Could this be a Win95/ WinNT problem?
What can I do to fix this?

Thanx

Things have changed quite a bit since the gcc-2.8.0 merge, and I'll
probably make a new release after things settle down a bit.

Yes. You need -ladvapi32 to get the Reg* stuff, which should've been
automatically, but obviously there is a glitch.

If you can live with egcs-1.00, try my pre-built distribution at

You should pose these questions to gnu-win32 newsgroup, since that's where
all the gnu-win32 users hang out.

You should use *my* libcygwin.a, even if you use Sergey's cygwin.dll.

See the FAQ for cygwin32 ( http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ ).
Basically you have to set the C_INCLUDE_PATH, C_PLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, etc.

I've uploaded a sample SETENV.BAT file in my ftp area that should work
for you. Where you found the gnuwin32-egcs-1.00.tar.gz file.

for future reference, when you report problems, you should include at
least the following:

1. You current environment settings.
2. output of the compiler with -v option:
   
   % gcc -v test.c

3. also the linking step:
   
   % gcc -o ntat.exe -v main.o

Well, now this:

I have gnuwin32 b18 installed. Downloaded Mumit's win32 egcs1.0 pre-build
binaries. untarred them over gnuwin in the dir c:/gnuwin32/b18. This seems to
be the apropriate place. Installed coolview (libcygwin.a and cygnus.dll) and
all seens to be OK.

all but one thing: the default include path is incorrect: unable to find
stdio.h etc. So I hacked the makefile of my app to search the specific dirs
for these files. Now the compilation goes fine. But the linking doesn't. It
just stops. Well actually it just doesn't.

so 2 questions: How do I change de default include-dir?
and what about the linker.

linking: gcc -o ntat.exe main.o -lstdc++

just doesn't stop

linking: gcc -o ntat.exe main.o

gives a long list of undefined symbols (as expected)
