    Default Cygwin - A newbie question

    Hi, I'm new here.

    I've been trying to follow this guide
    http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index...MakingBinutils

    When I try to compile binutils cygwin returns the error

    '*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
    *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.'

    any ideas? sorry if its been asked before

    That guide is quite a bit out of date, actually (along with pretty much every guide you're going to find online).

    From the error you've posted though, it seems like you didn't install the Cygwin native development tools, so you can't actually build anything. You'll need to fix that before you can build anything, so you should use the Cygwin installer to install the development tools (GCC and such), which will allow you to build things for Cygwin itself.

    Since you're on Windows, you might want to try out the DC Dev ISO (I've never used it, since I'm not on Windows, but many people have used it successfully). You can get that from here: http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=96802 .

    Good luck.

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into the development iso
