PI17369: Rhapsody framework uses no longer-existent Cygwin/gcc distribution

Rational Rhapsody 8.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Current Cygwin releases no longer contain 'gcc4', but 'gcc', so
  manual changes to framework files are required. These manual
  steps should not be necessary. This effects both C and C++ GNU
  compilers
  
  SYMPTOM
  
  Building ------------  DefaultComponent.exe   ------------
  Executing: ''C:\Rhapsody8.0.6\Share'\etc\cygwinmake.bat
  DefaultComponent.mak build '
  Setting environment for Cygwin
  'make.exe'
  Compiling Test.cpp
  /bin/sh: g++-4: command not found
  DefaultComponent.mak:111: recipe for target 'Test.o' failed
  make: *** [Test.o] Error 127
  
  Build Done
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE
  
  1. Download latest release of Cygwin incl. gcc/g++ from devel
  pack
  2. Create simple test project.
  3. Try to build project or rebuild framework
  
  ENVIRONMENT
  
  Windows 7 and other supported Rhapsody and Cygwin platforms
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT
  
  Cygwin/gcc no longer works 'out of the box'
  
  SOLUTION
  
  Both the CompileCommand + LinkCommand properties have to be
  modified from 'gcc-4' to 'gcc' and CygwinMake.bat line
  containing OM_GCC_VER='-4' has to be modified to OM_GCC_VER=''
  to be able to start the compilation.

  ****************************************************************
  The Rhapsody framework uses "gcc-4" even though it no longer
  exists in the Cygwin/gcc distribution. As a result, manual
  changes must be made to the properties CompileCommand and
  LinkCommand, and to the CygwinMake.bat file.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in version 8.1
