Quoting Alan James Caruana <ajc...@gm...>: > > I have a VM where I try stuff out before using them in my actual working > environment. This VM has got Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition > running. I installed MinGW (manual download of the modules) (gcc, g++, > binutils, mingw32-make, mingw-utils, gdb) last week and it all worked fine. > For the w/end I turned off the VM just in case some updates are installed > on the host machine and it boots or something of the sort. Last Tuesday > (Monday was a holiday here) I restarted the VM, and thought that i might try > MSYS. I installed MSYS using the installer package in a different folder > than MinGW. From that moment on mingw32-make is giving the error I posted > earlier after every command, whether the command is to compile a file, > delete a file, create a directory or whatever. > The error wasn't very meaningful.
