I'm running Source Mage (a compile-it yourself distribution) on an Athlon 
Thunderbird 1.2 GHz.  My version of gcc is:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

While trying to debug the problem, I noticed that the exceptions didn't look 
like they were being caught at all.    Perhaps there's something else wrong 
with my system?  I'm using libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and glibc version 2.2.5.  I 
am thinking about changing linux distributions...

Hi all, I'm new to cygwin and mingw, and UNIX style development in
general hence I would really appreciate some help here. I'm trying to
build the aspell win32 binary using the mingw compiler in the cygwin
environment but am getting some linker problems.

Here's how I've setup my cygwin and mingw:
1)downloaded setup.exe from http://cygwin.com and selected everything in
the develpment package. 
2)following the instructions given at
http://www.colomsat.net.co/freehost/ngiraldo/cppcygwin.html, I've
downloaded the mingw-extra-2.95.3.tar.gz packaged and installed it into
the appropriate directories.

Here's what I used to configure aspell:
1) set env variables CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to '-mno-cygwin'
2) run the following configuration options:
for pspell (required to compile aspell):
./configure --bindir=/cygdrive/d/aspell --prefix=/cygdrive/d/aspell
--disable-shared --disable-ltdl for aspell: ./configure
--bindir=/cygdrive/d/aspell --prefix=/cygdrive/d/aspell --disable-shared
--enable-win32-relocatable --disable-curses

And finally, here's what I get (note that pspell compiled and installed
without a hitch):

It appears to me that somehow, the linker is not finding the
implementation of opendir, readdir and closedir which are found in the
header dirent.h. Also, I noted that the linker is linking in the
directories /usr/lib/mingw, /usr/lib/w32api and
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5  (deduced from the line
"-L/usr/lib/mingw -L/usr/lib/w32api
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5") which are empty! What
gives?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
