But those who don't are still in the dark. The worst of it all is that the .exe suffix is added by ld -- it is as if cygwin creates problems for itself... (before flaming starts: I know there's a very good reason for the insertion of the .exe suffix: it has to be added so that the files can be seen as executables by Windoze -- another great feature (?) by M$oft... =T As I said, I just think it would be nice to have this .exe suffix handled transparently, since it is automagically created) Regards, Andre -- André Oliveira da Costa (costa@cade.com.br) -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner@sourceware.cygnus.com [mailto:cygwin-owner@sourceware.cygnus.com]On Behalf Of Christopher Jones Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 5:03 PM To: Andre Oliveira da Costa; cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: RE: [mingw32] Re: [RFC] changing gcc default output executable na me (a.exe now) I think this should be handled automatically if using autoconf and automake, especially when using automake since the install targets for executables are created by it from bin_PROGS or similar. The cygwin stuff in autoconf provides a variable which can be checked in Makefiles to do something specific for a cygwin environment and another variable to do something cygwin specific in configure.
