Dumb question about directories.

I recently installed msys 1.0 on my xp box.  I am having one
perplexing problem which I hope somebody can help me with.  Whenever I
want to refer to a directory, the directory name must contain a '/',
for example, when I try to change in to the directory qnap2, sh claims
that it does not exists. Changing into ./qnap2 does though.  
What could I be doing wrong?  (DJGPP is installed on the same machine,
if that matters).

greg <at> MERLIN-PC ~/usr/src/qnap2
$ ls -l
total 1552
drwxr-xr-x    2 greg     Administ        0 Oct  7 16:52 qnap2
-rw-r--r--    1 greg     Administ  3178496 Sep 11 16:34 qnap2.tar

greg <at> MERLIN-PC ~/usr/src/qnap2
$ cd qnap2
sh: cd: qnap2: No such file or directory

greg <at> MERLIN-PC ~/usr/src/qnap2
$ cd ./qnap2

greg <at> MERLIN-PC ~/usr/src/qnap2/qnap2

Re: Dumb question about directories.

Hello!

If you use cd /foo/bar then 'CD' tryes to change to /foo/bar in the main root dir. If you use cd ./foo/bar then
'CD' tryes to change dir from current position.

Re: Dumb question about directories.

Well so should cd foo/bar change from the current working directory.

Greg, attach the output of ``msysinfo all''.

Thanks,
Earnie.

Re: Dumb question about directories.

Same thing is happening here.

Tried cd to my "src" directory.

from

(pwd=)/home/Paul

cd src/cs
sh: cd: src/cs: No such file or directory

	(Fails.)

cd /src/cs

from

(pwd=)/home/Paul

	works fine.

Just assumed it was the way it was supposed to be.

Paul G.

Follows is "msysinfo all" output:

need help compiling gcc for windows

I'm trying to use MSYS with MINGW to compile gcc for Windows. If I'm ever able to get this to work, I would then like to cross compile for a Linux target. But I can't get this to work.
 
In my profile file, I have this line:

CC=gcc CXX=gcc

This seems to be correct because when I type just $CC on a line in MSys it
lists the correct file:

$ $CC
gcc.exe: no input files

I also have my mingw directory correctly bound to MSYS in fstab:

C:/mingw   /mingw

The directory /c/mingw/bin is in my path.

But when I try to configure gcc, I get this:

Administrator <at> TPA21P /c/gcc-objdir
$
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=c:/gcc-3.3.1 --with-local-prefi
x
=c:/gcc/3.3.1
Configuring for a i686-pc-mingw32 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)
Created "Makefile" in /c/gcc-objdir using "mh-frag"
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure: c:mingwbingcc.exe: command not found
*** The command 'c:mingwbingcc.exe -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.


I'm at my wits end over this. I've been at it all day and all evening, and half the night. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Re: need help compiling gcc for windows

 
That error seems strange to me, and it is due to backslashes somehow getting into a command line when they shouldn't. You normally don't need to set CC or CXX environment variables so remove these first. Please provide the output of "msysinfo all".

Your assumptions are correct and sh is behaving as expected for your 
scenario.  The OP has a different scenario.

Re: need help compiling gcc for windows

Yes, I know the slashes are missing, but I can't figure out why. I changed
nothing in the MSYS defaults except to add CC=gcc to the profile file. There
are no backslashes in the path to the compiler.

I've tried it with CC defined and without. It doesn't work either way. When
I define it this way, it seems to work. Typing "gcc -v" shows compiler info.
I'm also tried defining CC with a full path (forward slashes), but that
doesn't work either.

Here is the output of msysinfo all. I very much hope you can find a clue in
here. I've spent 18 hours on this, and I can't get it to work.

Re: need help compiling gcc for windows

Found the problem... The prefix directory didn't exist. For some reason I
thought configure would create it. I created it manually, and now it's
running. I'm not sure it will run correctly, but at least it's running.

That error seems strange to me, and it is due to backslashes somehow getting
into a command line when they shouldn't. You normally don't need to set CC
or CXX environment variables so remove these first. Please provide the
output of "msysinfo all".

Subject: [Mingw-msys] need help compiling gcc for windows

I'm trying to use MSYS with MINGW to compile gcc for Windows. If I'm ever
able to get this to work, I would then like to cross compile for a Linux
target. But I can't get this to work.

In my profile file, I have this line:

CC=gcc CXX=gcc

This seems to be correct because when I type just $CC on a line in MSys it
lists the correct file:

$ $CC
gcc.exe: no input files

I also have my mingw directory correctly bound to MSYS in fstab:

C:/mingw   /mingw

The directory /c/mingw/bin is in my path.

But when I try to configure gcc, I get this:

Administrator <at> TPA21P /c/gcc-objdir
$
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=c:/gcc-3.3.1 --with-local-prefi
x
=c:/gcc/3.3.1
Configuring for a i686-pc-mingw32 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)
Created "Makefile" in /c/gcc-objdir using "mh-frag"
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure: c:mingwbingcc.exe: command not found
*** The command 'c:mingwbingcc.exe -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

I'm at my wits end over this. I've been at it all day and all evening, and
half the night. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

GNU configure scripts do not, as a general rule, create the directory
specified for --prefix.  This normally defaults to something which will
usually already exist, on a UNIX build host, e.g. /usr/local

If you specify something other than the default, which MinGW may well
require, then the onus is on you to ensure the directory exists, before
you run configure.

The INSTALL notes, provided with the majority of GNU packages, usually
make this clear.

Keith
