Hello - I'm not sure if this forum is the correct place to pose this problem:
I have a recent installation of cygwin running under win-7. I am trying to build another package into the installed octave, so am working on getting the gcc compiler running. In trying to build the standard hello.cpp, I'm getting the following results:
$ g++ hello.cpp
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ladvapi32
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lshell32
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -luser32
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lkernel32
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
where hello.cpp is the standard sort of thing:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World\n" << endl;
return 0 ;
}
I can't build the "c" version of the same program, get the same results.
There's nothing in usr/local/bin, usr/local/include, usr/local/lib, they're empty directories. This is odd.
I've set library paths:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=/lib
export CPATH=/usr/include
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS
/lib and /usr/include are populated with what looks to be like a reasonable set of directories, but I really don't know for sure.
I've been able to compile on my system (mingw under windows) but I can't get gcc running under cygwin.
I'm out of my water at this point and fumbling around. The tutorials and tfm that I've found don't seem to cover what I have going on here. Any advice?
thanks - Mark Sheffield
