(4.3.4-3).
According to http://cygwin.com/packages/ there should be an executable
named gcc.exe in there - but I see only gcc-4.exe. As a quick fix I've
created a copy of gcc-4.exe named gcc.exe, and I expect that will work
ok. (I've also done the same wrt cpp-4.exe, g++-4.exe and gcov-4.exe.)
Is that what we're supposed to do ? ... or did I miss something ?
You need to add /etc/alternatives to your path.
There is always a symbolic link in '/usr/bin'
for 'gcc' if it's been properly installed.
Well ... I did have some doubts as to whether it was installed correctly,
though everything seemed fine apart from the absence of "gcc", etc.
However, I don't have a /usr/bin folder. And no /etc/alternatives either.
There's no need to clutter your
path regardless though. Just run 'sh /bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh' if you're
missing '/usr/bin/gcc'.
bash-3.2# sh /bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or
directory
/bin/set-gcc-default-4.sh: line 7: /usr/sbin/alternatives: No such file or
directory
I'll wipe the current Cygwin installation and do it again (hopefully I can
get it done right next time :-)
Everything I've tried seems to be working quite well, but there's bound to
be ramifications down the track if I don't fix it up properly.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Rob
