I've been trying all day to compile GCC for Windows, and I just can't do it. I'm using the MinGW compiler as a boot compiler and cygwin for the environment. I added c:\mingw\bin to the path, but I keep getting this error message: c:mingwbingcc.exe: not found *** The command 'c:mingwbingcc.exe -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler. I don't know why it isn't showing the slashes in the path. When I type "env" at the shell prompt, the path is correct. What am I doing wrong here? I'm wasting hours and hours and getting nowhere. Do I need a CC environment variable? If so, please give me the precise syntax. I have no experience with Linux. Thanks in advance. - Sheryl
