Re: Re: Re: Re: RE: Installing cygwin gcc using sources

["Deepak Shekhar" <dipaktc at rediffmail dot com>]

Hi
I am back again with the same problem.
As u suggested , i installed the latest version of cygwin from binaries and downloaded the latest version of binutils and gcc sources.
I tried to configure the new set of sources, but got struck at the same point.
 
Please can u enumerate how can i go about building gcc from sources on cygwin (i586)
 
thanks in advance 
Deepak

You certainly need bring your cygwin installation current, both with the binaries and the source you are building.
