Hello, I'm trying to understand why the following code doesn't do what I expect it to:
#include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> int main(void) { SetConsoleOutputCP(857); printf("\x87\x94\x8d\x9f\x81\xa7\n"); } (BTW, does anyone know why gcc issues a warning if main has return type void? Is this required by any standard I haven't heard of?) I expect the code above to print six characters from the code page 857 (the default is 866), namely: ccedilla, odiaeresis, dotlessi, scedilla, udiaeresis, gbreve. However, it prints characters from the default code page (that is, pseudographics, quote, '?', '?', '?', paragraph). It prints what I expect only if compiled with -mno-cygwin, which is not what I want (the ultimate goal is to have mutt switch code pages in one session, without leaving mutt or bash; it works under Linux). To understand that, I want to rebuild cygwin1.dll with debugging information. Due to awful build performance under Windows 2000, I use cross-compiler under Linux. I did the following: * copied some includes and libs from an installed cygwin to /opt/cygwin/i686-pc-cygwin/{include,lib}. * release/binutils/binutils-20020706-2-src.tar.bz2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin make make install * release/gcc2/gcc2-2.95.3-10-src.tar.bz2 with minor -lintl fixes ./configure --prefix=/opt/cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin PATH=/opt/cygwin/bin:$PATH make LANGUAGES="c c++" PATH=/opt/cygwin/bin:$PATH make LANGUAGES="c c++" install * release/cygwin/cygwin-1.3.12-4-src.tar.bz2 with minor -I. order fixes untbz2 release/w32api/w32api-2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 into winsup ln -s w32api-2.0-1 winsup/w32api ./configure --prefix=/opt/cygwin --host=i686-pc-cygwin --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu. PATH=/opt/cygwin/bin:$PATH make The last command fails while linking new-cygwin1.dll with many errors saying that __builtin_new, __builtin_delete, __builtin_vec_new and __builtin_vec_delete not found. Should I use a different compiler, or some separate C++ library? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
