OK, I performed the steps from the prior recipe, on
my Win98 desktop and Win2000 Laptop, both running the
newest (yesterday) Cygwin. It "seemed" to work. I got
exe's in /usr/local/bin. An error was reported at the
end of the make about fastjar.
I have not yet renamed the exe's in /usr/local/bin.
I tried a simple experiment, I wrote the obligatory
hello.cpp, and compiled it using the "old" g++, and
/usr/local/bin/g++. I used cout and iostream, since
in my previous attempts, seeing c++ stuff seemed to be
a problem.
I compiled with
g++ hello.cpp
for the old version and
/usr/local/bin/g++ hello.cpp
for the new one.
I could get the "old" version to compile with
#include<iostream.h>
or
#include<iostream>
The new version would not compile with either, giving
a "no such file or directory" error. I then tried a
compile of a work tool, which has a large number of
files to make. It goes through the compile part of the make
OK, but when it goes to link, it throws a lot of errors
related to flavors of "new" and "delete". The make uses
gcc by the way, though in the past I have tried g++
as well.
This is the same result I have gotten in the past.
This all may be consistent with some kind of environment
or path problem, though I have added /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/lib, /usr/local/gcc-lib into the path in my
/etc/profile.
I suspect the answer will be a head slapper of that nature,
"but Wayne, didn't you know you have to..." If it is
you don't have to be gentle, just use small words in explaining
what I need to do. :-)
Thanks,
