configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I am trying to Build and Install the Apache Thrift compiler and libraries

I had to type this command is shown in instructions ./configure && make But I get this error:

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/PATH/TO/thrift-0.9.3':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

When I type in my command prompt gcc --version I get this

gcc (GCC) 5.3.0 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

It finds the gcc compiler. However, when I run it from my msys2 Shell

bash: gcc: command not found

The path in Environment variables is correct. C:MinGWbin

Yet it canno’t find gcc

Thanks in advance!

Answer

The path to your gcc compiler is not in the PATH.

You may add it before you run make.

export PATH=${PATH}:/c/MinGW/bin
./configure && make

Goodluck.
