Hi,

I try to run the windows compiler "cl.exe" on Interix

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
dev1usr@win01:~> which cl.exe
/dev/fs/C/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/bin/cl.exe
dev1usr@win01:~> "cl.exe"
dev1usr@win01:~> truss "cl.exe"
tracing pid 971
poll revents=0x40
dev1usr@win01:~>
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

nothing is printed nothing is done
any solutions available to compile windows applications on interix?

HINT:
I successfully used the gcc cross-compiler on linux to create native windows dll's and execuatble's
Interix provides his on gcc, It should be possible to merge mingw into interx gcc to provide a solution
to ceate a windows/interix executable

mfg

The program "cl.exe" is a Win32 program and truss follows Interix programs.
You will get no information out of it. You will need to use Win32 tools if you are
wanting to trace a Win32 process.

Are you are attempting to build a Win32 process using Interix/Unix build tools?
If so then you can use wcc do this. Wcc is a modified version of
cc. Both are scripts to interface with the MSVC compiler: cc produces
Interix binaries and wcc produces Win32 binaries. Both are run either directly
from an Interix shell or using Interix tools like make.

I'll note that the basic MSVC compiler is now available freely and does produce binaries
that are faster than gcc's, particularly with math calculations.

You can get a copy of wcc from ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pub/wcc
