Missing in what sense? If you moved the files after installing them via Cygwin setup and now they are reported as "missing" by "cygcheck -c", then this is expected behavior (also see below). Otherwise, please (re)read the problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and follow them in your next posts. > Packages reporting as incomplete: > > Missing file: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias from package gettext > Missing file: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias from package texinfo > Can't open file list /etc/setup/XFree86-base.lst.gz for package > XFree86-base > Missing file: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias from package gettext > > Are these missing files a problem?

I was about to suggest reinstalling one or both of the packages, but then looked at the package listings, and there is indeed a conflict -- *different* files with the same name (usr/share/locale/locale.alias) appear in both packages: gettext and texinfo. In fact, it also appears in the [prev] version of tar (FWIW). Maintainers of texinfo and gettext should take note. Reinstalling still might help, though. The "Can't open file list" is superficial (XFree86-base is an empty package) and can be ignored. It should only appear if verbose mode is requested (using a "-v" option), anyway. > Other question: Can I use the cygwin version of gcc for compiling > under mingw?

You need to install the various *mingw* packages (gcc-mingw, mingw-runtime, etc), and then pass the "-mno-cygwin" flag to gcc. Please address MinGW problems to the mingw-users list, though.
