Pete James wrote: Hello, I am new to the list a have only been using CYGWIN for a few months. I would like to use the GNU compiler as a cross compiler for a Windoze machine and I am having problems with the files being opened in BINARY mode, I think. Unfortunately I can't change all the files to remove the extra carriage returns or line feeds as the files are used by other programs. So I think my options are: > I never have any problems with any files, regardless which mode these > files are. GCC doesn't care if you use \r\n or \n as line ending. > Gerrit 1: Carriage returns (\r) and line feeds (\n) are treated as white space by GCC. They are ignored and should cause no problem. 2: You should NOT mount your drives in Text Mode. Input files will be scanned for \r\n and converted for text and binary (at least that was the 'old' behavior). 3: You can remove \r\n from all or any of your files. In bash-ese for i in *.c *.cc *.h ; do u2d $i done 4: I don't understand your reference to a cross-compiler for Windows. The native Cygwin compiler is for Windows. The Mingw compiler is also generates Windows code but it doesn't use Cygwin.dll. Look at 'gcc.gnu.org'. 5: You can recompile GCC but it shouldn't have any effect on your stated problem with \r\n. I think you need to look elsewhere. art -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
