dunno if i'm confusing the issue here.. sisyphus directed me to a link - " http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml and click on the link to MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe " being a self-contained .exe which only requires setting the path (which i still haven't accomplished :p) otherwise, i have the (correct..) instructions for installing borland's fclt on windows.. rapid q is easy to install and nice if you're not doing anythnig big (seems to go ass up w/ memory then) - only a step up from basic, but.. at least it tells you how to install it :p -- http://home.earthlink.net/~plattermatic http://www.panicnow.net/~xoxos ----- Original Message ----- From: <lrtaylor@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bela214@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 10:09 AM Subject: RE: GCC configuration help, please? Michelle, In order to build GCC, you must have a C compiler on your system. So, yes, it's kind of like a catch-22 - except that nearly any C compiler should do. If you don't have one on your system, you'll need to try to find a prebuilt binary install of GCC for your system. Depending on what type of system you're using, you chances of finding one are pretty good.

What exactly is the name of the file that CC must be symbolically linked to in order for me to configure GCC? It says it needs to be linked to a C compiler, but I thought that's what I was installing, is this some kind of Catch-22? Please reply to bela214@xxxxxxxxx if you can help.
