Re: egcs on cygwin32 i586

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
