There is no version 2.91 -- I assume you mean 2.91.xx, xx <= 66 (eg., 2.91.66 corresponds to egcs-1.1.2 if I remember correctly; gcc -v will provide the correct info). The problem with -remap is always due to the following -- compiler driver from a newer GCC distribution executing CPP from an older GCC distribution by mistake. The cause can be one of the following: - you have GCC_EXEC_PREFIX defined incorrectly (if so, undefine it and see what happens). - you have GNAT installed. See my web page for workaround. - inconsistent mount. This is the tricky one, since you have to know how GCC looks up subprograms given it's installation directory. Let's say you've mounted the /Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin as /bin; now you run the following: $ gcc -v gcc will now look in the PATH, and find itself in /bin/gcc.exe; it'll now try to find it's subprograms in /bin/../lib/gcc-lib/, and will fail if you haven't mounted /lib as well. The workaround is to put /Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin in your PATH *before* /bin. export PATH=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin/bin:/bin:$PATH I seem to remember that you had trouble when you hardcoded CC=/bin/gcc in your Makefile; I'd bet the last one biting you. My opinion of this behaviour is that it's not a bug, rather an annoying side-effect of the rather bizarre directory hierarchy chosen by Cygnus. I haven't looked at the CD yet to see what's used there. Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
