I am certainly not new to progamming and cygwin but it has been a few years since I did an install. Never had any problems un win2k but I am trying to install under winXP Pro w/SP2 and have the most basic of problems. Install goes fine but when I try to use gcc to compile a chunk of C-code I get no joy. the command line (using the windows command prompt) gcc -o test.exe test.c produce no errors and no output --none, nada. I would expect that I would get a "test.exe" file at best and some kind of error message at worst but I get nothing. the following "gcc -v -o test test.c" generates the follwing -- with the temp file not being generated Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/specs Configured with: /usr/build/package/orig/test.respin/gcc-3.4.4-3/configure --verbose --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,d,f77,pascal,java,objc --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-x --enable-libgcj --disable-java- awt --with-system-zlib --enable-interpreter --disable-libgcj-debug --enable-threads=posix --enable-java-gc=boehm --disable-win32-registry --enable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-hash-synchronization --enabl e-libstdcxx-debug Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/cc1.exe -quiet -v -D__CYGWIN32__ -D__CYGWIN__ -Dunix -D__unix__ -D__unix -idirafter /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../include/w32api -idirafter /usr/lib/ gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/../../include/w32api test.c -quiet -dumpbase test.c -mtune=pentiumpro -auxbase test -version -o /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/eric/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc2WhVXT .s I am wondering if there is a security issue at work with the new SP2 ?
