Just a small question. Im kinda new as far as using GCC is concerned. How do you use the latest editions? There are no binaries available and MinGW and Cygwin use earlier versions in their packages.

There are steps to updating gcc, since you'll have to download the source & compile the new binary executable.

When you download the newest version it should come with a README/howto, or some list of requirements to upgrade.

Yeah I tried building on MSYS and Cygwin. But it shows some build error. The configure part works well. After that Im not exactly sure what to do. The instructions are kinda confusing to me .

What error does it give you?

I use configure and everything runs smoothly. After that I type 'make' and I get the following messages:

Quote

I tried this on MSys.

Try putting it into a directory without spaces in it. Or put quotes around anything that tries to use the directory. Take a look at the error messages:

It's trying to enter here -> /home/Ashwith Angela Rego/obj

But you're getting this

Quote

bin/sh: test: too many arguments
/home/Ashwith: /home/Ashwith: No such file or directory

1.) Too many arguments, because "Angela" & "Rego/obj" are being sent as arguments due to the spaces (the shell delimits a command & arguments by a space)
2.) /home/Ashwith no such directory....... cuz there isn't one, you have /home/Ashwith Angela Rego

Mmm. Yeah makes sense. Im trying this right now. Now errors yet.

P.S. I hope you're not wondering about that weird folder name .

No, I'm just wondering why MS has the desire to dumb down the OS so that it doesn't know the differance between a space & not a space, between capital A & lower case a.

It makes no sense... (sorry, it's a personal issue with a friend of mine)

Now Im getting this error:
