Subject: Compiling with Borland C++ 5.5.1
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

Hi. I checked the list and the FAQ on this topic but
turned up empty-handed. I half expected this to be a
common problem for those using Borland's C++ compiler.

Background: I'm trying to build the GNU tools on my
W2K machine and configure them so that I can do some
embedded development for an ARM target. I'm building
the GNU toolchain from within the Cygwin 1.3.11-3
environment. My installation of Cygwin is basically
the default configuration.

In configuring 'binutils,' I first ran into the
problem that there is no "cc" C compiler on my W2K
machine. I have "bcc32," or the Borland C++ compiler
5.5.1. So I had to set the CC environment variable to
the working compiler. Once I did that and reissued the
command, I got the following error:

Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32
Error E2194: Could not find file 'conftest.cpp'
conftest.c:
*** The command 'bcc32 -o conftest -g conftest.c'
failed.

The correct file extension is definitely .c and not
.cpp. Can someone tell me what the problem is using
the Borland (C/)C++ compiler under Cygwin?

Motivus
