cc: not found error
Hello, This is Mary very new to CYGwin. I have installed cygwin in Windows XP. The main purpose of installing CYGwin is to complie O'caml complier. I have downloaded O'caml 3.06 version. However while I want to configure/install it, CYGwin says that cc: not found Unable to compile the test program. Make sure the C compiler cc -O is properly installed. Did I miss to install any package from cygwin, as I often get bash cc: command not found or bash make: command not found. BTW: I don't have a C compiler in my machine. Please help me if I miss to install something. I am a newbie to cygwin, a reply would be a great motivation to go on to the next step. Thanks Mary __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: cc: not found error
In cygwin setup.exe you may want to click on Default next to All to select all packages for install. This way you will not miss gcc, make etc. and other good programs that are not selected by a Default installation. Greg P.S. To install O'caml you might still need to manually install some packages not found under Cygwin (see O'caml Readme and Install files). But it can be done, I installed O'caml on my system some time ago. x On Sun, 11 Apr 2004, Mary Michael wrote: > Hello, > > This is Mary very new to CYGwin.

That is obvious from the above. ;-)
A quickly scribbled answer:
My guess is that you installed just the base category of cygwin. To get
somewhere with compiling software you need _at least_ the gcc packages from
the Developer category.
Whether you need more cygwin packages than that depends on what you (or the
package you're trying to compile) are(is) trying to acheive, ...and in what
way.
An easy way is to download/install all packages (approx. one full CD) -
possibly omitting stuff you do _know_ for sure you won't use. You'll have to
make sure to leave package dependencies though.

cat: problem cured in snapshot 20040409
The current cygwin1-1.5.9.dll and snapshots up to 20040406 have exhibited an intermittent problem with cat: the error msg "input file is output file" has been presented during a long sequence cat f.1 f.2 f.3 ... f.n > f.target when there is in fact no coincidence of names. This was reported earlier at //www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg01211.html (also with 1.5.9). The problem seems to depend in some subtly inexpressible way (otherwise I would have sent a test case) on the contents of f.1 .. f.n and the name of f.target. Well, at least with the examples I have tried (many) this problem is cured with snapshot 20040409. And with 20040411. Thank you.
