The command gcc-3 test.c is executed but has no effect. No object, no executable, no message. Checking after the command the content of $? I get an exit code 1. echo $? 1 Asking for compilation with -pass-exit-codes I get an highest exit code 127 gcc-3 -pass-exit-codes test.c echo $? 127 I have apparently all the programs in place, i.e. /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/cc1.exe /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/f771.exe (I wish to compile with g77 as well) /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/collect2.exe and /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/ is in the path of the programs for the gcc front-end (checked with -print-search-dirs). I am at loss... Any hint of what may be wrong in the installation ?
