GCC configuration help, please?

GCC configuration help, please?

[Michelle]

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@yahoo.com if you can help.

Thank you,

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

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.

Good luck,
Lyle
