Re: Help: gcc problem in Cygwin!

Dear all,

I've been trying to install a software on Cygwin under
Windows XP, but without any success. The steps are (1)
'./configure', and (2) 'make'.

I had following error message after running 'make'.

cygpath: can't convert empty path
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)
:: undefined reference to '_WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libquicknet3.a] Error 1


Can anyone let me know what's wrong here? It seems that there is a confusion on which linker to use for gcc, and GNU ld is not on the path. I attach the output from './configure' at the end. Do you think it is related to those outputs? If so, how to fix it? If not, what's the cause? checking for ld used by GCC... ${CXX} checking if the linker (${CXX}) is GNU ld... no




Make sure you've installed the 'binutils' package and that 'ld' from this package is in your path. If this doesn't resolve the problem, then please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:
