In fact, I have every package installed except the japanese and apache stuff. I am using the gcc-3.2 packages just realeased by Chris. For about the last month and a half, I have been frustrated with an issue regarding binutils compiled from cvs sources. Every single time I've built the sources, a bad ld is produced. What happens is when gcc is linking a source file using the new ld, it dies with this error: [Snip]/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -luser32 Immediately reverting to the current version of binutils available via setup.exe resolves this issue. I then thought I was doing some post install step wrong, so I looked at mknetrelease. The only thing different was that it replaces the binaries in /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin with symlinks pointing to the binaries in /usr/bin. I went ahead and rebuilt binutils and did the aforementioned step after installing them. Still, I get the same error as before. I would like to try a newer version to see if it will allow me to link Qt without running out of memory first. So, after searching the archives and what not, I am no more closer to a solution than I was before. Here are two questions that I am investigating: A)Is there a specific binutils branch I should be using rather than HEAD? B)Is there some sort of macro I'm supposed to pass to configure when building of ld which allows the ld binary to automatically link to libuser32 when used? (I thought the search path stuff was done by the gcc spec file?) Back in June, the binutils cvs sources were building just fine and ld worked as it should. I'm not sure if this is pilot error or not, but any insight regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
