No acceptable C compiler found in $PATH after installing Cygwin
I want to install Kannel gateway on windowsXP. For that I downloaded and installed Cygwin. But when I went to configure the Kannel I got the following errors. (I set the PATH as C:\cygwin\bin;C:\libxml2-2.6.30+.win32\bin;)

Answer
Sounds like you didn't install gcc when you installed cygwin. Rerun setup, selecting gcc for installation.
