You've posted to the xfree list which is a mailing list for using X11
applications with Cygwin.  This has nothing to do with gcc or C++, so
it's off-topic here.  A better place would be the main Cygwin list
(cygwin at cygwin dot com) or the gcc help list (gcc-help at gcc dot gnu
dot org).  I've CCd the former.

You've not provided nearly enough information for anyone to be able to
help you.  "I get an error while compiling C++" code is not specific
enough.  Copy and paste the *exact* command you use to compile as well
as the *exact* error message that results.  Show the code in question,
if possible simplifying it down to a testcase that demonstrates the
problem as minimally as possible.  Without this level of detail, or
barring the invention of mind reading technology, nobody will have
enough to go on.

I also urge you to thoroughly read
 which seems to cover 99% of the
problems people encounter when dealing with C++ errors and gotchas.

Brian

See the '-f' flag for 'mount'.

Trouble with the g++ compiler

[-Patrick]

It appears the cygwin version is significantly different as I get an 
error while compiling C++ code that Ive used an overloaded function and Im 
certain I am not. My school's server that appears to run the correct 
version does not produced this error upon compilation. 

How do fix it? 


School version:
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)

Cygwin's version: 
gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)


Thanks

First of all, you are supposed to be using imake, not make.  This has
been mentioned in previous thread(s) on this list.

Re: Cygwin X fails to start

[mgoh]

I had this problem as well.  Oddly, I had a mount of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
that was a "user"
mount in textmode -- and I cound't use "umount" to remove it (it would
complain about
invalid path, or something).  I searched the registry for the mount, but
didn't find it (I found
all the others).  To fix the problem, I first quit any running cygwin
programs, then from a CMD
shell, I mounted another user mount over the top of the old one, which I was
THEN able to
umount.  After THAT, I remounted /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in binmode (system
mount), THEN I reinstalled
all the fonts (as mentioned here: 
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof).

THAT, FINALLY fixed my problem.

This all started when I ran the cygwin setup program to update various
versions of things
(that's what killed it).

I was suprised that not more people had reported this, as I'm running a
pretty stock install.

Re: Weird Dialog Problem

[Shane Larsen]

Sorry that I don't have a solution to your problem, but I have the same problem
if it makes you feel any better. I also recently switched from exceed to cygwin
in order to run Gambit and I have the same annoying problem with the dialogs. If
you ever do find anything out about it, please let me know too.

Help to compile Cygwin X

[Gadi Shavit]

Hi,
 
I am trying to build Cygwin X version 6.8 for Windows XP
First message I get when running make World is: 

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS. 

It is not clear to me what exactly I need set in ./config/cf 
Are there any specific instruction what needs to be configured there?

When the build process continues I get an error message saying the directory 
programs/xrx does not exist. Where can I find this directory in the Cygwin tree?

Can you help?
 
Thank you,
    Gadi
