I've read the documentation and the FAQ, but to no avail. I'm running Win95 on a PC. I have Cygwin b19.1, gcc 2.8.1 and mingw32 March '98 installed . I understand that egcs is the replacement for gcc 2.8.1 which has been giving me a few problems with cc1plus freezing or crashing. I downloaded and unpacked egcs 1.1b.tar.gz into c:\egcs. Noteing your advice on using seperate directories for source and object, I decided to build in EGCS in c:\mingw32\usr\local. So having set up those directories, (and put the latter on the path) I tried cd /mingw32/usr/local configure --prefix=/mingw32/usr/local and it comes back with /EGCS/configure: No such file or directory. Then tried many other variations on the theme but no joy. This puzzles me, it's found configure, so what is it not finding ? The directories are all there. Your install document says make sure gcc or cc is on the path. It is, i.e gcc 2.8.1 is on the path. I also tried set cc = gcc ./configure in the autoexec.bat. Does this mean that gcc 2.8.1 will be used to build the tools ? Sorry, if I've missed something fundamental but I'm not a unix fan (yet ?), so I have no idea what is supposed to happen. I'm just trying to learn C++ !
