No acceptable C compiler found in $PATH after installing Cygwin

I want to install Kannel gateway on windowsXP. For that开发者_C百科 I downloaded and installed Cygwin. But when I went to configure the Kannel I got the following errors. (I set the PATH as C:\cygwin\bin;C:\libxml2-2.6.30+.win32\bin;)

Sounds like you didn't install gcc when you installed cygwin. Rerun setup, selecting gcc for installation.

---

Well, my first guess is that you haven't actually installed all of Cygwin. The default installation does not install every single package, just a subset.

That's why I always change the install type to 'Full' when I'm running setup.exe^(a).

Whether gcc is included in the standard install, I don't know, since I never install the standard one. However, it should be in /usr/bin/gcc, the same as my system, and which is on your path. Open up the bash shell and execute:

ls -al /usr/bin/gcc

to see if it's there.

---

^(a) Just keep in mind this isn't a fast process, potentially taking many hours to download/install, which is why I tend to download a new release once and use that cached copy to install many times.

---

This mean you have cygwin which does not contain the gcc-g++ compiler.

run setup(setup-x86_64.exe) again and now select package

gcc-g++

and then the setup will work fine. I tested that and worked fine.

---

If you have installed the apt-cyg, you can use bellow command for install it:

apt-cyg install gcc-g++

---

You need to select gcc, gdb , make etc while installing cygwin , those options are not default . can be found in devel tab of packages.

---

This can happen if you choose one of the offered options other than "Install from Internet" in the Cygwin Setup dialog:

If you use the other options, it seems you can end up with missing files. I tried on two different machines and in both cases there was only a single file in the Devel category, nothing to do with gcc. This despite going through line by line and checking everything for a full install.

In desperation I was trying anything I could think of, and as soon as I tried "Install from Internet", both machines immediately showed a huge list in the Devel category including the gcc entries, and I then got a full install.

It may have been a mirror/download glitch, as I found that after using the internet option, I could not then reproduce the original problem on either machine. (I tried to do so, to get a screenshot for this post.) But it would seem odd to get the same download glitch twice in a row on different machines.

Regardless of exactly how it can happen, the fact remains, the download appeared successful and at no time was I notified of any problem, so there was no indication of any reason to doubt that I had downloaded the full set of files. And the net effect was, after making the choice to download to disk and then install from that, I was forever stuck with missing files, with no clue as to what the problem was. By a lucky chance I stumbled on the fact that using the internet option would fix the problem.
