The installation notes seem to state I should do a configuration like ?configure --prefix=C:\gccwin? to set the object directory to gccwin (the name of the directoy I have chosen). There is a file called configure but this is not an executable file so this process does not work. I tried this throug the DOS window. I understand the next thing to do is to ?make boostrap? but again there is no executable file called ?make?. Can you point me in the correct direction to start this process of building a native Gcc complier before I build a cross complier. I have read all the install instructions but cant comprehned them.
