I have been compiling software under gcc3.4 under cygwin for some time now. I was having an issue, so I decided to re-install gcc in cygwin. All I did was select the three gcc packages for re-install. After the re-install, I am getting the following errors from the linker,
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt2.o: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingw32 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmoldname /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingwex /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmsvcrt /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingw32 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingw32 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmoldname /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmingwex /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmsvcrt It's like the linker can't find the libraries anymore. I haven't changed my make, or anything else. I had this happen yesterday on another computer where all I did was to update cygwin in the normal fashion. I have the following packages installed, binutils 2.20.51-2 gcc-core 3.4.4-3 gcc-g++ 3.4.4-3 gcc-g77 3.4.4-3 gcc-mingw-core 20050522-3 gcc-mingw-g++ 20050522-3 gcc-mingw-g77 20050522-3 libgcc1 4.3.4-4 libstdc++6 4.3.4-4 libstdc++6-devel 4.3.4-4 mingw-runtime 3.18-1 make Do you see anything that I'm missing. The cygwin package manager is pretty good, so I would be surprised if a re-install removed some required dependency, but anything is possible I guess. I would guess that it is more likely that the problem is having the version 4 libs, which may not be compatible with gcc3. The only options are 4.3.4 or 4.3.3. I will check an older machine and see if I can figure out what is different.
