Hi Ben,

Unfortunately I don't have easy access to an XP machine, so I can't try to
duplicate your problem in the near future. In view of Jay's idea about
symbolic links, please try these commands from Cygwin, at least one of
which presumably fails. The "%" represents the prompt.

1. (a) Create a symbolic link.

   % ln -s sphere.xp sphere.cc

   (b) If (a) fails, make a copy with recognizable extension.

   % cp sphere.xp sphere.cc

2. Compile and link.

   % /usr/bin/g++ sphere.cc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib/epix -lm -lepix

Does either command work, and if not, what errors do you get?

Best,
Andy

Both commands work, which is great news. Thanks! Unfortunately, the output file isn't recognisable by gv or elaps. Here is the output of ls -la in case these file sizes look abnormal:

$ ls -la sp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Ben None       9 Dec  2 15:49 sphere.cc -> sphere.xp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Ben None 3911576 Dec  2 16:17 sphere.eepic
-rw-r--r-- 1 Ben None    1228 Aug  2 05:43 sphere.xp
-rw-r--r-- 1 Ben None   31961 Dec  2 16:16 sphere_eepic.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 Ben None     195 Dec  2 10:58 sphere_xp.log

Though I'm convinced it's something I'm doing now. Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
Ben
