Question

I’ve found I think very good tutorial on how to compile gcc on windows http://www.aristeia.com/Misc/gcc4ForWindows.html#buildinggcc
but I’m stuck on the (surprise, surprise) main point of it, which is building actual gcc. Just to make your life easier, I’m struck here:

configuring:
   # ../../source/gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/mingw --host=mingw32
   --target=mingw32 --program-prefix="" --with-as=/mingw/bin/as.exe
   --with-ld=/mingw/bin/ld.exe --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as
   --enable-threads --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++
   --disable-win32-registry --disable-shared --without-x --enable-interpreter
   --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug  

The problem is that nothing’s happening after I type this, so obviously I must have done something wrong. Any ideas?

Edit, that is my folders’ structure:

/gcc-work/source/gcc
$ ls
ABOUT-NLS           boehm-gc      depcomp    libjava       lto-plugin
COPYING             config        include    libmudflap    lt~obsolete.m4
COPYING.RUNTIME     config-ml.in  intl       libquadmath   move-if-change
ChangeLog           config.rpath  libgomp    libstdc++-v3  zlib
ChangeLog.tree-ssa  configure.ac  libiberty  libtool.m4
Makefile.in         contrib       libitm     ltmain.sh

If compiling a GCC 4.7 (which has not yet being released!) you probably don’t have source/gcc-4.1.1/configure which suggest a path for a GCC 4.1.1. So put the right path (to the topmost configure of your GCC source tree).
