I have installed CygWin on Windows XP Home. I have installed all the development packages.
The Problem: When I use gcc to compile a .c file no executable or any file at all is created. It doesn't output any errors. The output from gcc -v hello.c -o hello.exe: Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/specs Configured with: /usr/build/package/orig/test.respin/gcc-3.4.4-3/configure -- verbose --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib -- libexecdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable- languages=c,ada,c++,d,f77,pascal,java,objc --enable-nls --without-included- gettext --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-x --enable-libgcj -- disable-java-awt --with-system-zlib --enable-interpreter --disable-libgcj- debug --enable-threads=posix --enable-java-gc=boehm --disable-win32-registry -- enable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/cc1.exe -quiet -v -D__CYGWIN32__ - D__CYGWIN__ -Dunix -D__unix__ -D__unix -idirafter /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc- cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../include/w32api -idirafter /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc- cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/../../include/w32api hello.c - quiet -dumpbase hello.c -mtune=pentiumpro -auxbase hello -version - o /tmp/ccFwdJsQ.s -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
