Hi Angelo, I found a reference to this sort of problems in the Cygwin FAQs, but this turned out to be a dead-end too. So I thought, I'd try MinGW/MSYS instead.
It started off fairly well, however: - For some reason the gcc compiler did not like the /d/gcc-src/... path (from $srcdir) - it could not find the include file gmp-h.in. So I changed that to d:/gcc-src/... And that worked, until ... - the source file gen-fac.c was missing from the build directory for gmp. So I copied the various source files manually. And that worked, until ... - the assert.lo file was missing, which is necessary for libgmp. That file is nowhere in the build directory. So now I am definitely stuck. I can try to contact the Gygwin people and hope for the best. Or any of you might know the solution wrt MinGW.
