Hi, I looks like cpp gives various results depending on the path used.
$ cpp --version cpp (GCC) 4.8.2 $ /lib/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $? cpp: error: spawn: No such file or directory 1 $ /bin/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $? cpp: error: spawn: No such file or directory 1 $ /usr/bin/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $? 0 I get these results with both versions (x32 & x64). I have restored the previous version (4.7.3) and it works fine. dummy.c only contains a #define. I hit this problem while trying to recompile bup after I done a CygWin's update. bup uses /lib/cpp. Regards, P.Rouleau -- Bjarne Stroustrup: “C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.” -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
