when I run: >$ g++ shell.cpp it makes an a.exe no problem and runs fine. However, I would like to create an executable under mingw but I am getting some errors. Running: >$ g++ -mno-cygwin chell.cpp Gives me: In file included from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/../../../../include/g++-3/streambuf.h:36, from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/../../../../include/g++-3/iostream.h:31, from shell.h:13, from shell.cpp:11: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/../../../../include/g++-3/libio.h:30: _G_config.h: No such file or directory In file included from shell.cpp:15: exe.h:16: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions on how to get the includes looking at the correct paths ? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
