Hello Vivin,
I am running into
problems building GCC under cygwin.
Is there something wrong with the way I have
set up paths or something?
I may have misunderstood the situation, but you shouldn't need to do a
make bootstrap, because cygwin comes with gcc 2.96.2 (or something like
that). So you can do a "normal" non-bootstrap build, which
might work for you.
Also, if you're building under Windows 95/98/Me - don't. It won't work
properly. You need Windows Nt 4.x or 5.x (2000).
95% of problems in cygwin stem from line-termination issues, by the
way...
