I just downloaded the CygWin package, including gcc (MynGW) because I had been having no luck at all making MynGW work by itself on another machine.
I have a simple app that defines static int main (int argc, char **argv) {...} Using the command 'gcc -o testit testit.c' generates the usual message: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o (.text+0x7c): undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The FAQ and the CygWin mailing list indicated that there might be some advantage to renaming /usr/lib/libm.a to /usr/lib/libm.a.16bit but that had no effect. Since there's already a main() in the program, it looks as though some configuration file somewhere might be causing a problem, but I'm not sure where to look. If it helps, I did a gcc -v: $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/specs Configured with: /netrel/src/gcc-3.2-3/configure -- enablelanguages=c,c++,f77,java --enable-libgcj --enable-threads=posix --with- system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-interpreter -- disable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable- shared --build=i686-pc-linux --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin -- enable-haifa --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc -- libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/nonexistent/include --libexecdir=/usr/sbin Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2 20020927 (prerelease) I haven't found any generic makefiles or anything of that sort. Anyone got a useful suggestion for a good place to look for the cause of this problem? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
