gnuc on cygwin? need help!

Hi everyone i have a big problem if anyone could help me that would be great. i have a project which runs a make file to compile and when i run it on cygwin i get this error:

-------------------------------------------------------------
$ make
gnuc -g -O0 -Wno-long-long   -c -o disksched.o disksched.c
make: gnuc: Command not found
make: *** [disksched.o] Error 127
-------------------------------------------------------------

in the make file there was this segment which i extracted from it to show u:
-------------------------------------------------------------
CC = gnuc
CFLAGS = -g -O0 -Wno-long-long
LINKFLAGS = -g
# CFLAGS = -g -O0 -Wno-long-long -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage
-------------------------------------------------------------

i assume cygwin doesnt have gnuc..is there a way to install it so cygwin can use it? i am very new to cygwin so i dont really know. I need to be able to use gnuc on my computer or an equivalent...but i dont know how to modify make to use that equivalent.


any help would be highly appreciated. thank you!!

Re-run 'setup.exe' and install the 'gcc-core' package from the "Devel"
category.  There is no compiler named "gnuc" in this package.  It's
'gcc'.  You'll either need to change your makefile to use 'gcc' or
create a symbolic link to 'gcc' called 'gnuc'
('ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gnuc').

yep i installed full cygwin so i got gcc. i always used gcc. but now this makefile uses gnuc. ok so what i did was edit the section in make that i showed u to "CC =    gcc" instead of "CC =   gnuc" and well it seems to be working.

but i dont know anything about this compiler stuff and the extra options specified like -Wno -long etc....does gcc understand all those options too? i assume they are different so wouldnt gcc not know what those options are?

is it ok to literally replace gnuc in that section with gcc like i did? thats the only spot where gnuc is in the makefile.

Actually, I've never heard of 'gnuc' as a compiler name.  I doubt there is
another GNU C compiler though.

Yes, that sounds reasonable to me.
