Help Compiling Source! 4 Days Trying

[DanBrwn]

I have tried, and tried and tried. Tried different source trees, lots of different versions of the lib packages, cygwin tools. Here is the latest. When I run the scripts I get an error that directs me to a configure.log. The pertinent part appears to be :
configure:2417: $? = 0
configure:2419: gcc -mno-cygwin -v </dev/null >&5
Using built-in specs.

See `config.log' for more details.

Any Help. I don't have a cc1. I do have a cc. Should I make a copy and rename it cc1?

it's likely due to syntax errors in your config script..

use the exact one suggested in the INSTALL.win32 file(pick the example specific for cygwin) from the source.

if you want to change that script at all, only change the last line from:

Code: Select all

--enable-debug

to this:

Code: Select all

--enable-release

or this:

Code: Select all

--enable-optimizations --enable-release
