[Dev-C++] Configure, make, and assorted flowers

[Abhijit S. <mu...@gm...>]

Most source packages I download need me to run 'configure' before 'make'.
Are conigure's windows binaries available for download to run with
GCC-ports? Where do I get them? I'm really confused. I downloaded bash
sources, assuming I can compile them (maybe with modifications), using
Cygwin or MingW, and don't know what to do... any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is what I do:
1. Download and install Dev-C++ 5.
2. Download Cygwin and install everything related to development (bash, 
gcc, make, Cygwin's mingw environment, bison, yacc, sed, etc.)
3. Make Dev-C++'s Mingw the default compiler:
export CC='C:/Dev-C++/bin/gcc'
export CXX='C:/Dev-C++/bin/g++'
4. Tell configure that you're configuring for Mingw.
./configure --target=i586-pc-mingw32 --build=i586-pc-mingw32 
--host=i586-pc-mingw32
make install

I reccomend to download msys package. It is more sutable for MinGW.
Msys is found at sourceforge.net MinGW download page.

I've tried MSYS many times, but I've never got it working properly
(especially bash). I recommend using Cygwin as environment, but Mingw as
compiler.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded MSYS. It's working fine, but it seems
very, I dunno, incomplete... thinking of downloading the complete Cygwin...
