Any ideas? -- Alberto |

Looks like you haven't unzipped the snapshot file, or if you have, you've extracted it in the wrong place. It needs to overwrite the mingw32-mingw-get.xml file from the "mingw-get update", to add the reference for the mingw-get-gui component. To do this, it needs to be extracted into the same root directory as your MinGW/mingw-get installation; (for a default installation, that would be C:\MinGW). Also, if prompted, you *must* select the options to merge directories, and to replace any previously existing files. WJFFM, when I follow the installation instructions I've provided at http://tinyurl.com/ck2u95d -- Regards, Keith. |

You need to extract the zip file to the directory where you have MinGW installed. For example if you have MinGW installed in C:\MinGW then extract the zip file into it. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd |

You have to click the Mark All Updates button and then the "Apply Changes" button. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd |

I realized a few minutes after sending the message, but it didn't show up in the mailing list after several hours later, so I couldn't reply to myself. After that, I had some problems at the final stage of installing «mingw-get-gui», because it seems to segfault. It also happens when I try to run the program mingw-get-gui from the start menu. Maybe it could be a BLODA issue, so I will post how far I got installing it on a different system. -- Alberto |
