Re: need help compiling gcc for Windows

["Sheryl Canter" <sheryl@permutations.com>]

I'm still trying to compile gcc for Windows using msys/mingw, and having
problems. It's failing at a certain point in the build (error output below).
Can anyone tell me how to deal with this? I installed w32api and
mingw-runtime into the prefix directory before building (someone suggested
this to me), but it didn't help. The script still is not finding the header
files. Where are they supposed to go?
