Hi I am trying to build gcc using a 'make bootstrap' for the mingw32 environment, but when I try to build it using mingw it doesn't have bison and flex installed, but cygwin does. So I'm going to try to build it *using* cygwin, but *for* mingw. I suppose this is what you would call building a cross-compiler? I have got mingw and cygwin both installed on the system properly (apart from mingw apparently hasn't got bison and flex, but cygwin has) and cygwin's bin path is in the environment variables (mingw's isn't, as it's gcc isn't being used - right..?) I tried configuring with
sh configure --prefix=c:/gcc_34m --exec-prefix=c:/gcc_34m --enable-threads --enable-optimize --build=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-mingw32 --with-headers=c:/mingw/include but when I did bootstrap, it fell over on a 'sed' command - the makefile had called sed without specifying any input files or something but what that means I don't know. I know it can be done I'm just basically trying to figure out the correct series of options in order to get it to build. Can anybody spot anything wrong with this configuration or have any tricks that I'm overlooking that can be used to accomplish this? **************************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER.
