What does the following print? gcc-3 -v test.c Watch out for: 1) The output is called a.exe, not test.exe 2) "test" is a shell (sh, bash) built-in. If you create a test.exe and the run test, it will run the built-in, not your test.exe -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
