I see that the cygwin toolset now expects wchar support, and I've heard that cygwin does indeed support wchar now, but I don't know what I need to do to get it. Simply running the cygwin installer and letting it update everything doesn't seem to do the trick. Help?
Hmmm - that's all I did and it worked fine. I did notice one thing though - it seemed to leave some older version of gcc and libraries on there. Double check that the older ones aren't being invoked with gcc -v
Ah, I had to install the gcc4 package. It installs side-by-side with the earlier gcc package, which is gcc3. I wonder if it's a good idea for the cygwin toolset to just assume that wchar support is present, when really it's only present if the user has selected gcc4.
