Can't Run GCC on Cygwin Windows - gcc

I'm trying to compile some C files on my Windows. (already tried to change permissions with chmod)
Here is the error i'm getting:
$ gcc -c hello.c hello.o
bash: /usr/bin/gcc: cannot execute binary file
I have checked, and this is my PATH on the environment variables:
C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
When I type only gcc i'm getting the same error, instead of getting a Missing arguments error.
the which command responds as:
$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
So, i'm stuck here.
Any help?
Thanks!

Include path problem when compiling wxWidgets app

I'm now compiling wxWidgets' hello world sample: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_helloworld.html
using MingGW-w64 and it's mingw32-make on windows, and I'm using the pre-compiled Windows binaries it provides.
I have already compile successfully using
g++ -o hello -I/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll/mswu -I/d/local/wxWidgets/include -L/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll hello.cpp -lwxbase31u -lwxmsw31u_core
(I run this git-bash), and it can be execute normally too.
But when I copy the same line into makefile like this:
all: hello
hello: hello.cpp
g++ -o hello -I/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll/mswu -I/d/local/wxWidgets/include -L/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll hello.cpp -lwxbase31u -lwxmsw31u_core
and run with mingw32-make.exe in terminal, this error happened:
hello.cpp:3:10: fatal error: wx/wxprec.h: No such file or directory
#include <wx/wxprec.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
mingw32-make: *** [makefile:3: hello] Error 1
I'm not sure if it's the including path problem, because It actually compile successfully when I run the same line in terminal directlty.
Are you also using the "git bash" terminal when you try with your Makefile ?

After trying executing in cmd and git-bash a few times. I found it's probably the path style problem. I tried 2 cases of path specification below:
First:
g++ -o hello -I/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll/mswu -I/d/local/wxWidgets/include -L/d/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll hello.cpp -lwxbase31u -lwxmsw31u_core
Second:
g++ -o hello -ID:\local\wxWidgets\lib\gcc810_x64_dll\mswu -ID:\local\wxWidgets\include -LD:\local\wxWidgets\lib\gcc810_x64_dll hello.cpp -lwxbase31u -lwxmsw31u_core
Git-bash(execute in terminal directly): only first case successfully compiled.
Git-bash(using mingw32-make): only second case successfully compiled.
cmd(execute in terminal directly): only second case successfully compiled.
cmd(using mingw32-make): only second case successfully compiled.
Conclusion: I think mingw32-make using "traditional" Windows path style (backslash), even under git-bash.
Update:
I found that mingw32-make also support forword slash, so I can rewrite as:
g++ -o hello -ID:/local/wxWidgets/lib/gcc810_x64_dll/mswu ...
So I think it's better to use relative path in makefile, to prevent that (D:) in path, and also more portable(unix/linux use backslash too).

Problems with command make

I want to install CD-HIT but 'make' command shows error.
I am running in cygwin (32 bits) so I installed 'make' with apt.cyg and it seems to be correctly installed. Also, I've added the path where CD-HIT are located to $PATH but I still get problems with 'make'.
Here you can see where CD-HIT files are located.
$ pwd
/home/Ale/cdhit-4.8.1
The path is in $PATH
$ $PATH
-bash: /home/Ale/cdhit-4.8.1:/home/Ale/cdhit-4.8.1:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program: No such file or directory
When using make it shows this error.
$ make -f Makefile
g++ -fopenmp -DWITH_ZLIB -O2 cdhit-common.c++ -c
make: g++: No se encontró el programa
make: *** [Makefile:79: cdhit-common.o] Error 127

How can I specify include and library locations for mingw32-make under msys2?

I have a suite of Windows programs that up to now I have built under msys, one of which uses libxml2. I am currently trying to switch to building them under msys2 and the latter one is hitting a problem. My updated Makefile includes this:
CFLAGS += -I/mingw32/include/libxml2
$(BINDIR)/%.o: %.c
#-$(MKDIR) $(BINDIR)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $*.c -o $#
But when I run make (mingw32-make) the compile fails as follows:
[csv-gen]: mingw32-make
gcc -std=c99 -Werror -Wall -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -O -I/mingw32/include/libxml2 -c xmlParse.c -o ../../bin/Win32/csv-gen/xmlParse.o
xmlParse.c:36:27: fatal error: libxml/parser.h: No such file or directory
#include "libxml/parser.h"
^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:66: recipe for target '../../bin/Win32/csv-gen/xmlParse.o' failed
mingw32-make: *** [../../bin/Win32/csv-gen/xmlParse.o] Error 1
Yet that libxml/parser.h file does exist under the /mingw32/include/libxml2 path given by the -I option:
[csv-gen]: ls /mingw32/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
/mingw32/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
And the strange thing is that if I run the exact same gcc command directly from the msys bash shell (copying and pasting it from the make output above) then it compiles fine with no errors.
And I have the exact same problem with the link phase where it doesn't find the libxml2.a library in the path given to gcc by -L/mingw32/lib, and again I run the gcc link command directly from the shell and it works fine.
So why would gcc's -I/mingw32/include/libxml2 and -L/mingw32/lib options not work when run via mingw32-make yet the exact same options work fine on calling gcc directly from the shell?
I did try making the paths explicit Windows paths (d:/msys64/mingw32/...) and also tried quoting them, to no avail.
It turned out that the answer was to use explicit Windows paths, which as I said above I had tried, but when I tried again it worked so I must have previously made some mistake doing that. I found this by using the output from pkg-config which gives:
[csv-gen]: pkg-config --cflags libxml-2.0
-ID:/msys64/mingw32/include/libxml2
So apparently the problem is that mingw32-make doesn't fully understand the msys filing system, or at least not /mingw32 and /mingw64 paths in it.

GCC error when installing ncurses on OS X 10.8

I'm trying to install ncurses 5.9 on OS X 10.8 with GCC 4.9 installed. No errors or warnings show up when I run ./configure in the ncurses directory, but when I run make, I get gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-no-cpp-precomp’. Upon googling the issue (and trying it out), I found that --no-cpp-precomp (with two dashes, i.e in long flag form) is a valid command.
I'm not sure what was prompting GCC to run the invalid command – whether it was make, or if it was a command specified in ncurses itself.
Is there any way to fix this? If so, how?
EDIT: I tried changing the reference in the ./configure file from -no-cpp-precomp to --no-cpp-precomp manually, using a text editor, and was met with this, despite GCC seemingly accepting the --no-cpp-precomp option. After that, I tried running autoreconf, and got this:
configure:6558: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DIVERT_HELP
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /opt/local/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
After running it with the m4_pattern_allow option:
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required
After running ./configure && make anyway:
cd man && make DESTDIR="" all
sh ./MKterminfo.sh ./terminfo.head ./../include/Caps ./terminfo.tail >terminfo.5
cd include && make DESTDIR="" all
cat curses.head >curses.h
AWK=gawk sh ./MKkey_defs.sh ./Caps >>curses.h
sh -c 'if test "chtype" = "cchar_t" ; then cat ./curses.wide >>curses.h ; fi'
cat ./curses.tail >>curses.h
gawk -f MKterm.h.awk ./Caps > term.h
sh ./edit_cfg.sh ../include/ncurses_cfg.h term.h

cd ncurses && make DESTDIR="" all
gcc -o make_hash -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I. -I./../include -I../include -DUSE_BUILD_CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../ncurses -I. -D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -I. -I../include -I/usr/local/include/ncurses -O2 --param max-inline-insns-single=1200 --no-cpp-precomp ./tinfo/make_hash.c -Wl,-search_paths_first
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--no-cpp-precomp’
make[1]: *** [make_hash] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
It looks like this has been fixed in the latest patches to ncurses 5.9
The 5.9 source can be found here: ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-5.9.tar.gz
The latest patches are here: ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.9/ but the latest rollup patch appears to have the fix: ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.9/patch-5.9-20130504.sh.gz
To apply the patch, get the 2 files above then:
$ tar xvf ncurses-5.9.tar.gz
$ cd ncurses-5.9
$ gzip -dc ../patch-5.9-20130504.sh.gz | sh
--no-cpp-precomp is an obsolete Apple GCC option it should generate a warnning not an error but if -Werror flag is passed to the compiler it will fail on warnings, either way, you will have to remove it manually from the build scripts and then run autoreconf or you could just remove it from the configure script directly.
I realize this is very old now, but since I'm running into the same issue (need to build on Mac Yosemite 10.10 with GCC 4.9), maybe it'll help someone else too. It looks like the configure script is detecting that it's a Mac and assuming clang is used, even though the 'gcc' from the PATH is GNU. Seems they fixed the detection logic in newer versions. I've found the same issue in Boost 1.37 and it was fixed (somewhere before) Boost 1.55.

problems running MAKE utility from DOS command prompt

I have:
fileMainProgram.cpp
fileClassImplementation.cpp
fileClass.h
makefile
in a directory.
Ran cmd and typed
g++ -make -f makefile
got this message after tinkering with it for a while (change file name/extension, tried without -f, used gcc instead of g++, etc)

This is the makefile, (tried to delete the lines inbetween targets and actions, tried using automatic variables, etc,
I tried to compile the program as

then
g++ fileClassImplementation.o fileMain.cpp
to get an executable and it works fine.

Ran the whole thing on C4droid for my samsung phone and worked fine as is.
Doesn not work on my Windows7 laptop.
What you appear to have is a GNU Makefile, suitable for running GNU Make. Windows doesn't come with GNU Make, so you'll need to download it yourself.
It appears you've already downloaded MingW, try running the mingw32-make command to execute your makefile.
