title: mingw "could not find a working compiler"
body: <p>I'm trying to compile a third party library for use in c++ (gmp). I installed mingw and set the path variable. Now I go to compile the library, so I launch mingw, navigate to the folder where my library files are saved (there is a configure file in this folder), and type </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>./configure --prefix=${gmp_install}</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>expecting that this will compile the library and create a make file. But then after a couple of steps of progress, I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>could not find a working compiler, see config.log for details</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Of course, I looked at this log. There are few lines, but none of them mean anything to me.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me to figure this out? Thank you.</p>
