Re: [Dev-C++] CreateProcess balks during compile operation

[Alvin T. <al...@th...>]

if you installed MinGW or mSys yourself, you're probably pointing to the 
wrong 'make.exe' program. don't use the one in the MinGW dir 
('make-mingw.exe' or something like that). try the one in the mSys 
directory.
