Hi John and all, I am trying to compile liblouisutdml under Windows so I can try out the file2brl executable. I am following the instructions in the README.win32 file that is distributed with the package. I have installed mingw, msys, and the DTK package. I have downloaded the pkg-config-0.21 package and am having problems compiling it. When I try to run the following command I get an error. ./configure --prefix=c:/mingw I get the following error: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH Below is the contents of the config.log file in my pkg-config folder. Why might this error happen? Thanks for any help. Vic This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by configure, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was $ ./configure --prefix=c:/mingw ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = Vic-PC uname -m = i686 uname -r = 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) uname -s = MINGW32_NT-6.1 uname -v = 2009-07-11 17:46 /usr/bin/uname -p = unknown /bin/uname -X = unknown /bin/arch = unknown /usr/bin/arch -k = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown hostinfo = unknown /bin/machine = unknown /usr/bin/oslevel = unknown /bin/universe = unknown PATH: .
