Re: need help compiling gcc for Windows

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

I tried the exact script used to build mingw, and that solved the
problem--don't know exactly why.

Now I'll try the cross compiler for linux, which is my main goal.

I found the problem with the headers. It was in the way I was specifying the
paths in the configure statement. The path to the configure file has to be
relative, and the paths to the prefix directories have to be hardcoded, Unix
style (not Windows style).

Now I have a new error:

Any ideas?

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?
