Sir, I tried with gcc-4.1.2 to build and after i configure,it ended up showing the following error message Administrator@lakshmih-588bf4 /cygdrive/c $ cd gcc_build Administrator@lakshmih-588bf4 /cygdrive/c/gcc_build $ make cd /cygdrive/c/gcc-4.1.2 && autogen Makefile.def /cygdrive/c/djgpp/tmp/dj100000: line 1: autogen: command not found make.exe: *** [/cygdrive/c/gcc-4.1.2/Makefile.in] Error 127 The source is in C:/gcc-4.1.2 and i created a folder named gcc_build to build.
