  Hi,

  I need to rebuild MinGW. Are there instructions as to how to do this, =
as I cannot find any and there is nothing in the FAQ that I could find.

  I tried, but I am not totally familar with GNU/Unix. I downloaded the =
CygWin port. And I tried :-

      cd i686-pc-mingw32
      make

  or

      cd i686-pc-mingw32
      ../configure --target=3Di686-pc-mingw32
      make

  both produce :-

      make[1]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1
      make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/gcc'
      make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

  There seems to be a problem with the CRT base code configuration.

  I cannot seem to configure the CRT runtime '' it is looking for =
Windows.h=20

      gcc -c -D__CRTDLL__ -U__MSVCRT__ -g -O2 =
-I../src/mingw-runtime-2.2-1/include -I.
          ./src/mingw-runtime-2.2-1/../w32api/include =
-I../src/mingw-runtime-2.2-1/../incl
          ude -nostdinc -nostdinc++ -iwithprefixbefore include =
-mno-cygwin ../src/mingw-ru
          ntime-2.2-1/crt1.c -o crt1.o
      ../src/mingw-runtime-2.2-1/crt1.c:35:21: windows.h: No such file =
or directory

  The install script does not seem to check for Windows.h's =
availability.

  It just seems like a directory related problem.

  what have I missed ?

  I seem to be having a different but simular problem when building =
CygWin GCC.

  I am using Cygwin and version 3.2-3 of GCC, MingW32 3.2-20020817-1
