looking at the chgcheck output I noticed that 'gdb' and 'ld' are not found.
I check the
setup repositories and did not find anything for 'ld'. Which section of the
setup would you find gnu ld?
Hi Jerry,
ld (and also as) is part of the "binutils" package ("Devel" category
in Cygwin's setup program), as can be seen here:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=binutils%2Fbinutils-2.20.51-2&grep=ld.exe
You can use this page: http://www.cygwin.com/packages/ to search for
the Cygwin package containing a particular file.
I see that you have many "mingw" packages installed, including
mingw-binutils (which has its own ld.exe), but that is for building
non-Cygwin programs. For Cygwin programs (including compiled packages
for Cygwin's Python), you need the "plain" binutils.
