error in your wording!! also make sure that mysys-gcc and mysys-w32api ARE installed. not not installed otherwise gcc - v errors out
No, because you get those tools in the next step. Although I'm not sure why.
ok just the gcc -v command came up with no file / programme found or similar error untill i went and repeated step one with those.
i presume doing this all in linux would be much easier but cant find a good run through for this.
if anyone knows of a good linux tut could you post it please.
