Hey, > On linux: >>From where does gcc picks up header files like stdio.h by default? > Does it configure gcc to pick header files from particular location at the > time of build? There are default search directories statically configured at build time (of gcc) and user-specified search directories specified at run-time. To check the default search directories, you could run # echo "" | gcc - -xc -v -E [...] #include <...> search starts here: /usr/local/include /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.4.1/include /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.4.1/include-fixed /usr/include User-specified search directories are defined by the -I<dir> option > On windows: > I copied cygwin directory from one of my friend's machine where cygwin was > installed to my machine. > however when i run gcc from windows command prompt i get an error > displaying > "stdio.h : no such file or directory. > header files are already present in cygwin\usr\include. > I have placed cygwin on the same location where it was present in my > friend > machine C:\cygwin. > > In my PATH , i have set C:\cygwin\bin . > I would try the -v option and check where gcc searches for your header files ... - Andi -
