Re: gcc (as.exe) install error
Ok, so I found what appears to be my problem. I had installed cygwin to a network drive (samba running on a linux machine). Apperently, the installer expects to be able to create symlink-like files on the Win2K system that it was running on, and those don't work over the samba server. I ran the reinstaller to a local drive, and it now works just fine. This is somewhat irritating, as it means that I've gotta install this environment locally on every machine that I'd like to use it on, was well as updating each instalation individually. Is there a way around this? Is this issue a known bug, or should I further investigate my setup? Thanks a lot for the help. --Danny Danny wrote regarding 'Re: gcc (as.exe) install error' on Sun, Nov 10 at 17:59: I'm not in front of the machine, but for the time being I'll add this: When I copy that path and paste it in on the command line, it runs just fine (well, as fine as something that expects something on STDIN can run).

You can just remove and recreate the symlinks and they should work ok. There isn't any automated way to do this but it should be relatively trivial to write a script, something like: foreach f *; do t=`readlink $f 2/dev/null` [ -z $t ] continue rm -f $f ln -s $t $f done Do this in the /bin and /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin directories.

Re: gcc (as.exe) install error
Michael,
How is the (merely) potential conflict between the output of Danny's
compilation (test.exe) going to lead gcc to produce an Invalid
argument error? Especially when the assembler runs (or would run) before
test.exe gets written? Also note that test is a shell built-in both in
BASH and Ash.
I think this is actually the classic incomplete installation problem.
Specifically the binutils package was probably not installed on Danny's
system.

RE: gcc (as.exe) install error
As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:
o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
including a test case, if possible.
o Please include at least the version number of the
Cygwin release you are using along with the
operating system name and its version number,
for example, cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0.
o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r cygcheck.txt'.
Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
report. It is important that you include it as an
attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
give fewer false matches.
If you provide the output of cygcheck, then Randall Schulz's
guess about an incomplete installation could be checked.
