Install BAliBASE 3 in windows

Hi, I want to install BAliBASE in Windows 8.1 and i download BAliBASE and expat XML parser . I installed expat and tried to make file using "make -f makefile" in cygwin. But it gives me an error says that ,

cc -c -O -Iexpat-1.95.2/include readxml.c make: cc: Command not found

make: * [readxml.o] Error 127

Do i need to change flags in makefile of BAliBASE?

balibase expat

Thanks. I installed latest gcc and now it gives me the following error.

$ make -f makefile

cc -c -O -Iexpat-1.95.2/include readxml.c

cc -o bali_score readxml.o init.o util.o bali_score.o -O -lm-Lexpat-1.95.2/lib -lexpat

expat-1.95.2/lib/libexpat.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: * [makefile:16: bali_score] Error 1

Did you compile expat yourself? That error is indicating that you are trying to use a program compiled for a different OS. If you did not then compile from source.
