Cosimo Streppone found that adding "c:\strawberry-perl\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5" to the PATH environment variable fixed compilation errors

I'd be surprised if the fix was as simple as that. Admittedly that will fix the cannot exec `cc1' error - but the errors don't end there. It's certainly not good enough when it comes to compiling basic C scripts: 
C:\C>type try.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  printf("Hello World\n");
  return 0;
}

C:\C>gcc -o try.exe try.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or director
+y

C:\C>set PATH=C:\strawberry\c\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5;%PATH%

C:\C>gcc -o try.exe try.c
try.c:1:19: no include path in which to search for stdio.h

C:\C>

And any compilation that includes perl.h fails, since the the standard C headers that perl.h includes aren't found.

I think that approach is a path to nowhere (though, admittedly, I haven't wandered very far down it). Each time one error is fixed, another pops up to replace it .... but if someone *does* have a solution for g77 (that avoids the need for a patched g77.exe) I'd be most grateful to hear it.

Cheers,
Rob
