Last October, I posted asking for help building g++ 4 under Windows
2000. I ultimately succeeded, summarizing how I did so at
http://www.aristeia.com/Misc/gcc4ForWindows_frames . I've since moved
to Vista, but I find that following the same instructions doesn't work.
When I get to the step where I configure the build, I'm told gcc doesn't
work:
Scott@DIOMEDES /gcc-work/build/gcc
$ ../../source/gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/mingw --host=mingw32
--target=ming
w32 --program-prefix="" --with-as=/mingw/bin/as.exe

--enable
-interpreter --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug

But gcc is certainly present:
Scott@DIOMEDES /gcc-work/build/gcc
$ gcc -v

Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw special)
Anybody have any idea how I can build gcc 4 under Vista? Alternatively,
if somebody has a pre-build gcc 4 for Vista they'd be willing to share,
that'd be fine, too.
Thanks,
Scott
