Has anyone noticed that two versions of GCC were released with the latest versions of cygwin?
I experienced many compile and makefile errors only to discover it was the GCC compiler version. And have watched problem after problem be reported to the newsgroup about the compiler and makefile. Version 2.95 is called by adding -2 to the call for the compiler (eg. gcc-2 or g++-2, etc.) Using just GCC (or g++) calls version 3.x. After making this change all my compile and makefile problems disappeared. Also wouldn't it make sense to release the most stable version as gcc and the newer version as gcc2 of gcc-dev? The everyone could avoid some headaches. William J.
