I think I am just going to give up trying to understand what is going on
with this and simply apply Corinna's patch and wait for a corrected gcc
and sys/stat.h. I have tried to understand Chris and Earnies comments in
this thread and I also have been watching the discussion between Rueben
Thomas and Earnie Boyd in the thread titled:
mingw > 20001111: fstat bug: buffer overflow?
All I know is I brought everything current and the use of st_size gives
me a problem and setup crashes immediately after that. All I do is a
make - no flags. I rolled just gcc back to 2.95.2-5 and the same
results. I then rolled just gcc back to 2.95.2-2 and then when I try to
compile I get a message as follows:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot
open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
c++: file path prefix `/build/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/' never used
make: *** [setup.exe] Error 1
All I really wanted to do was know wwhat it would take to get it to
compile and st_size in the stat structure to work like I thought I
understood it could/would. I'll use the patch.
I would still like to understand what is going on here if someone has
time for a beginner.
