Are there any debug options or logs to check when you get "cannot execute binary file"?

- if is it a permission problem you need to check the ACL permissions see getfacl or ACL permission from windows explorer

- if you are missing dll's, you can check with:
  cygcheck ./nome_of_your_file
  ldd ./nome_of_your_file

I've built from source (gfortran) an application that won't run (cannot

executable...)

Here's a wondering: Are the necessary dll's installed properly? Maybe you would see this if the program cannot link its libraries during startup ...

I did "rebaseall" after installing a couple of necessary lib's.


All compiling (configure, make etc) goes like nothing's wrong (just a
few harmless warnings known for ages for this software). The only real
error displayed is the: cannot execute binary file.

I'll try to reinstall cygwin as admin to see if things change.
