I have researched the matter further and discovered that it only applies to Windows applications. When I link with "-mwindows" I get: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000 Adding "-e _mainCRTStartup" as per the GNU Pro manuals (which I have not needed to do before) did only remove the message. The .exe's was still not executable on win98 or ME. How can I find out why w98 and ME don't like the executables? I can't find any information about the various cygwin crt*.o and for which options they are used. Should any of them not contain WinMainCRTStartup? Could somebody point me in a direction please? I am attaching a "gcc -v" printout. /Thomas gcc -o run -g -v -mwindows -Wall -funsigned-char -I../../WindowsGLK/Include -DGLK -DWINGLK glkstart.o glkio.o exe.o arun.o sysdep.o rules.o debug.o args.o inter.o parse.o stack.o decode.o term.o reverse.o readline.o params.o main.o alan.version.o winglk.o arun.res -g -mwindows ../../WindowsGLK/Glk.lib Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specs gcc version 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special) /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/collect2.exe --subsystem windows -Bdynamic --dll-search-prefix=cyg -o arun.exe /usr/lib/crt0.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/w32api -L/usr/lib/gcc -lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5 glkstart.o glkio.o exe.o arun.o sysdep.o rules.o debug.o args.o inter.o parse.o stack.o decode.o term.o reverse.o readline.o params.o main.o alan.version.o winglk.o arun.res ../../WindowsGLK/Glk.lib -lgcc -lcygwin -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luser32 -lkernel 32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lgcc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000 make: [winglk] Error 1 (ignored) "Thomas Nilsson" skrev i meddelandet news:00a301c21571$78bb8c40$0300a8c0@ThoNi... I am a pleased cygwin user since many years. It has always served me well as a platform for easy cross-platform development. However I recently found that GCC produced .EXEs that run on NT and w2000 but not on 98 & ME. Message produced on failing systems is "The file appears to be corrupt. Reinstall the file, and then try again." And then "Windows can not run this file because it is in the wrong format." This occurs with both cygwin and mingw compiles on both w2k and w98. I have GCC 2.95.3-5, binutils 20011002-1, win32 1.5-1. I am sure this problem did not exist about a month ago. I have definitely upgraded cygwin and made a couple of changes to the software since then. What kind of changes to my software could have cause this behaviour? /Thomas Nilsson -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
