Not sure which is the right forum for this, so apologies if you think it should go somewhere else. I'm trying to compile GMP under Cygwin / WinXP. GMP = Gnu MP bignum library. Unfortunately, somewhere in the Gygwin setup or GMP (I would assume it's somewhere in Cygwin) there is a path to my MinGW tools, which used to reside in "C:/Program Files/MinGW" Of course, being linuxy, it muxes up when it comes to spaces, and I get the error below.

checking for BSD-compatible nm... /cygdrive/c/Program Files/MinGW/bin/nm -B
checking for ld used by GCC... c:/Program Files/MinGW/mingw32/bin/ld.exe
checking if the linker (c:/Program Files/MinGW/mingw32/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... c:/Program: not found

...

checking how to define a 32-bit word... /cygdrive/c/Program: not found
/cygdrive/c/Program: not found
configure: error: cannot determine how to define a 32-bit word



I've re-installed MinGW at "C:/MinGW", changed all my windows path variables and every registry entry that had MinGW somewhere in it, but GMP's ./configure still tries the Program Files location. I grep'd my Cygwin /etc dir and the entire GMP directory for mingw with no luck. Does anyone know where I can set the ??toolpath?? for Cygwin or GMP or whatever it is so that it points to "C:/MinGW" instead of "C:/Program Files/MinGW". Would be a great help, thanks in advance.
