[Mingw-users] (Fwd) [Mingw-notify] [Bug #124561] search-path for include fil

[Paul G. <pga...@te...>]

Hi folks,

	Looks like we need to clarify what exactly constitutes a "bug", 
technically speaking.

	It is clear that anyone who is subscribed to this list already 
knows what a "bug report" is and what such things should look 
like.

#124561, was updated on 2000-Dec-05 08:08 Here is a current
snapshot of the bug.

Project: MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows
Category: gcc
Status: Open
Resolution: Invalid
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Submitted by: fusz
Assigned to : pfalcon
Summary: search-path for include files

Details: <main>/mingw32/include is not in the search-path for <
..>include files.

But the path <main>/i386-mingw32msvc/include, which is not in
alpha-release in the search-path.

[this looks like a configuration problem on the end-users side.]

Comment:
If I start gcc like this:
gcc -v -c hello.c
I get a output with the following lines:

............

#include <...> search starts here:
 E:/Creat/MinGw/Bin/../lib/gcc-
lib/mingw32/2.95.2/../../../../inc
 lude
 E:/Creat/MinGw/Bin/../lib/gcc-
lib/mingw32/2.95.2/../../../../i38
 6-mingw32msvc/include
 E:/Creat/MinGw/Bin/../lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/2.95.2/include
End of search list.
The following default directories have been omitted from the
search path:
 /gcc-2.95.2/lib/gcc-lib/i386-
mingw32msvc/2.95.2/../../../../incl
 ude/g++-3 /usr/local/i386-mingw32/include
End of omitted list.

	[This seems to confirm my theory, the person sumitting this is 
unsure about what constitutes a "bug".

	I am thinking that if this is Georg Fusz, that he may 
misunderstand the mailing list policies, or it could be that the 
patch submittal process is not fulfilling its function properly.

	This report, as any bug report, should've gone to mingw-patches 
AND mingw-notify, not just to mingw-notify.]

Comment:
Not in search path for what? How do you know that in the first
place? Don't conceal this information, I really like to know!

[You're not the only one who is confused here, Paul S., it is 
confusing to me, too.]

	Peace,
