If you don't have MinGW/bin directory in your PATH, gcc will have a hard time finding a LOT of executables that live in directories relative to GCC_EXEC_PREFIX. Putting MinGW/bin directory in your PATH really does save a lot of bunny-rabbit- hackery. Danny > > Regards, > Keith. |

I typically don't have the MinGW bin directory in my PATH, at least not for the version of MinGW I'm using. I've got too many different versions of MinGW installed for that to be practical. >Putting MinGW/bin directory in your PATH really does save a lot of >bunny-rabbit-hackery. I don't see why it should. Under Windows you can unambigously find the pathname of the executable without any hackery. This problem with spaces in the pathname seems to be nothing less than a bug. Ross Ridge |

Thanks Danny. I thought that was the case, but I wasn't 100% sure. Regards, Keith. |

There are several executable using the sjlj suffix. windres is looking for gcc.exe. Copy the gcc-sjlj.exe and rename it to gcc.exe. Hope this helps. Max |
