Help installing gcc

[Rakesh Kumar - Software, Noida]

Hi,

  "sed" stands for "stream editor". It is mainly used for filtering the
text.
GCC uses AWK and sed when installing. It is by default installed with Linux.
I don't know whether they are part of Cygwin environment. Don't hesitate to
install these packages in your environment. You would get them for free.

Before installing sed, please check if it is already available to you.
It may just not be included in your path. In my system, it is in /bin
directory.

Regards
Rakesh Kumar

Subject: Help installing gcc


Hello gcc helpers,

I have installed cygwin on my laptop computer, which runs Windows 98.

I have downloaded all of the necessary files to install gcc, and put them 
in a folder C:/gcc-3.2.2

I have made another folder called C:/gcc-objdir

And then I went to that directory and typed C:/gcc-3.2.2/configure

And the following error message appeared:

sed: not found

I have no idea what that means and therefore do not know how to 
successfully configure and ultimately install gcc.  Any help you can offer 
would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Josie Ellis
