After setting up FreeBSD 10.1 doing a bit of houskeeping ready to install fehcom's latest iteration of s/qmail. He follows the DJB packages methods

Very first compile errors out and I simply haven't a clue. Packages include :
gcc-ecj-4.5 Eclipse Java Compiler used to build GCC Java
gcc47-4.7.4_1,1 GNU Compiler Collection 4.7
gettext-0.18.3.1_1 GNU gettext package
gmake-4.1_1 GNU version of 'make' utility
Code: 
root@mail3:/package/host/ucspi-tcp6-1.01# package/install
./compile tcpserver.c
exec: gcc: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop.
make: stopped in /package/host/ucspi-tcp6-1.01/compile
compile: fatal: cannot make it-base
root@mail3:/package/host/ucspi-tcp6-1.01# package/install
./compile tcpserver.c
exec: gcc: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop.
make: stopped in /package/host/ucspi-tcp6-1.01/compile
compile: fatal: cannot make it-base
 
None of the software I want is available in ports. It is very new release. This doesn't address the question.

I have a FreeBSD 6 system still running qmail quite nicely. Everything compiled as expected on that system. Is there a problem with FreeBSD 10 I don't know about?

Thanks for any leads.

It does. You are trying to compile software randomly downloaded from the Internet. Whom are you trying to impress with the "new release" of qmail? Daniel Bernstein has not released single peace of code since he and I were in the graduate school circa late 90s of the last century. If you are smart enough to randomly download things then you are smart enough to debug it and patched as needed so that it compiles on the latest FreeBSD. It is as simple as that. How hard can it be? I do it every day at work :)
