From: asteele@instinctive.com ("Alan Steele") Subject: yes, libstdc++.a is indeed broken in beta16 25 Oct 1996 07:24:35 -0700 Sender: daemon@cygnus.com Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <199610251313.GAA11430.cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Original-To: X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com ....but the workaround of using the library from the beta14 version at least got basic iostream stuff working. Running under NT 4.0 on x86 arch, the moment I added any call that linked in standard libraries (e.g. iostream) my executable would fail with a dialog saying "not a valid Windows NT executable". (forgive me if this is well-known at this point, I'm new to the list) -ams ------------- >From the beta16 release notes page: C++ doesn't work Yes, g++ can't find iostream.h out of the box. This is because of path searching problems. (It doesn't look in the right place relative to GCC_EXEC_PREFIX). In addition, people have reported that libstdc++.a appears to be disfunctional. The workaround appears to be to use the one from the beta14 distribution. *sigh* - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
