In my case, my error log said it couldn't find the file "make". So I re-installed Cygwin and chose the custom rather than default install. I had to go through dozens of install options before finding the make file (it isn't with the compilers). The configure then got a little further and stopped, complaining that it couldn't find "m4". So I had to re-install Cygwin again, this time looking for make and m4. This process was repeated until the configure ran to completion. > > Why I ask is that I utilized "apt-get install gcc" to install gcc.

If so, I have no clue how you get it to do what you want, I'm suggesting that as a possible place to look. > > Curiously, > rwr > > Ps.
