My problem is similar in this issue. Please help me too. -----------<Start>-------------- Please help me out. I have a problem to configure gcc-4.2.4 (gcc-g++-4.2.4.tar.bz2) cygwin in window. Details: Based on instruction on http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_GCC_4.3.0, I 1. Create subfolder, contrib, inside usr folder 2. Download gcc-4.2.2.tar.bz2 into /usr/contrib 3. It gennerates: /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4 /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/gcc /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/cp # cp is a subfolder /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/libstdc++-v3 /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/libstdc++-v3/config /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/libstdc++-v3/docs /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/libstdc++-v3/include /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/libstdc++-v3/.... 4. Then based on instruction of that link, $ mkdir build $ cd build $ ../gcc-*/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ $ make $ make install and instruction of cygwin lin, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html, % mkdir objdir % cd objdir % srcdir/configure [options] [target] I create subfolder named build, $ mkdir build, and then $ cd build 5. Now this is a problem. I can not configure it as an example,$ ../gcc-*/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ or % srcdir/configure [options] [target] My code is $ ls --> Result = usr/local/contrib --> it is current location $ ../gcc-4.2.4/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ ---> Err msg = bash:../gcc-4.2.4/congigure: No such file or directory 6. I check more alert messge as below: [ First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory from the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported. ] My srcdir is gcc-4.2.4 folder while my objdir is build. Paths are: usr/local/contrib/build usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4 These look OK. Right? 7. Because of that error, I repeatly run this command, $ ../gcc-*/configure --enable-languages=c,c++, and $ ./gcc-*/configure --enable-languages=c,c++, on the different paths as below: # Current location (a) /usr/local/ --> then create build subfolder (b) /usr/local/contrib/ --> then create build subfolder (c) /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4 --> then create build subfolder (d) /usr/local/contrib/gcc-4.2.4/gcc --> then create build subfolder All generated the same error, No such file or directory. 8. Then I go to http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html. There is no topic talking about the problem of configuration like me. Please help me out I spent like 4 days to do this. I feel that it is not a deep technical problem but I may miss - Some simple point like path or link issue or - The current location to run configure. However, regarding to all instructions, it does not mention any specific path to run configure. I am blank now However, I am not so such about that and I don't know how to solve it. Please provide me instruction and/or information. Thank you very much, Jasmine Ps. I am pretty much new and have no working experience in this special field -----------<end>-------------- Jim Cobban wrote: > > I am trying to upgrade the version of gcc that comes with Cygwin to > 4.3.2.
