Before building GCC, you need to ensure that the prefix folder you specify has the C headers. If you're replacing your compiler, the simplest way to achieve this is to say "--prefix=/mingw". Otherwise you need to first extract "mingw-runtime" and "w32api" into (say) "/home/gcc41" before specifying it as the prefix for the new GCC. You can find the latest versions of these packages on the MinGW SF page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw You might also want to extract "binutils" into the same folder before proceeding. On reading the messages in this thread, on a whim I built GCC 4.1.0 for MinGW (C,C++) using the release tarballs. As I noted in PR24382, you need to specify "--with-ld" explicitly as well as use a relative path to the GCC "configure" script (otherwise it fails trying to find "/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/gcc/input.h", even though it's present). Here're the configuration details: - ------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------ ~ > gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i686-pc-mingw32 Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.0/configure --prefix=/mingw \ - --target=i686-pc-mingw32 --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls \ - --disable-debug --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-threads=win32 \ - --disable-win32-registry --with-ld=/mingw/bin/ld.exe \ - --with-as=/mingw/bin/as.exe Thread model: win32 gcc version 4.1.0 - ------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------ I used "mingw-runtime" version 3.9, "w32api" version 3.6 and "binutils" version 2.16.91-20060119-1, all as available from the MinGW SF project mentioned earlier. I built GCC by invoking "make bootstrap" after configuration. The build environment was MSYS 1.0.11. HTH, Ranjit. - -- Ranjit Mathew Email: rmathew AT gmail DOT com Bangalore, INDIA.
