I just joined this mailing list and I hope I have not misunderstood what
it's for... If I should be asking somewhere else, please let me know so
I don't bother anyone with inappropriate posts.
I've installed Msys2 and am using the 64-bit build environment on win7 x64
Problem 1:
t.c:
main(){ int f = open("a.exe",0); }
$ gcc t.c
$ strace a.exe
create_child: a.exe

No trace of the open() syscall. Am I misunderstanding what strace is
supposed to do?
Problem 2:
t.c:
#include <ncurses/curses.h>
main() { initscr(); }
$ gcc t.c -lncurses
$ ./a
Error opening terminal: xterm.
Using sysinternal's procmon, I see an attempt to access
"D:\mingw64\share\" but my Msys2 installation root is actually D:\msys64
Making a windows symlink: D:\mingw64 => D:\msys64\mingw64
Then it works; I get no error message about opening terminal xterm.
Pacman -Q says I've installed:
mingw-w64-x86_64-ncurses 6.0.20160220-2
ncurses 6.0.20160220-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-termcap 1.3.1-2
It seems to me that ncurses is not figuring out that my Msys2 root
starts at D:\msys64\
Everything else in my Msys2 installation seems to be working properly
and has been for several months
