hi,
i've just installed cygwin on a new windows 8.1 pro laptop and
am having the wierd problem that i can't invoke gcc without
actually typing "gcc.exe". e.g.
$ gcc --version
-bash: gcc: command not found
$ gcc.exe --version
gcc (GCC) 4.7.3
Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...
similarly:
$ which gcc
which: no gcc in (...)
$ which gcc.exe
/usr/bin/gcc.exe
this isn't happening for any other executable i've tried
(e.g. ls, less, bash, make, ld) so it seems quite odd.
cygcheck -sr shows some registry entries for a now-deleted 64bit cygwin
installation but i don't know if that's important. the full output is below.
thanks for any help,
raf
p.s. another odd thing is that running "cygcheck -sr >cygcheck-sr.out 2>&1"
in Cygwin Terminal as the Administrator user produced a file with "\r\n"
line endings (i.e. "ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators") but running it
in Cygwin Terminal as a normal user produced a file with "\r\r\n" line
endings (i.e. "ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators"). why the
difference?

output of "cygcheck -sr >cygcheck-sr.out 2>&1" as Administrator
