Porting to Win2000

I am installing postgresql on a win2000 machine. I have installed cygwin and
cygipc, and I'm getting the following error when trying to run ./configure

loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type ... i686-pc-cygwin
checking which template to use ... win
checking whether to build with local support ... no

checking for soft limit on number of connections ... 32

configure:error:no acceptable cc found in $PATH

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,
Linda
