[XDB-users] Install Xbase into MinGW problem

[D P <djp...@gm...>]

I am trying to install Xbase into my MinGW and every time I run
../configure it produces zero byte makefiles. Can anyone tell me what I'm
doing wrong? Here's a little about how I'm set up.

Windows XP SP 3

MinGW freshly installed using mingw-get to C:\MinGW (C:\MinGW\bin added to
path)
MSYS-1.0.11.exe installed to C:\MSys (HOME=C:\MSys\1.0\home)
msysDTK-1.0.1.exe installled
xbase64-3.1.2.tar.gz untarred to C:\Xbase



I start Msys and mount C:/Xbase /Xbase
cd xbase64 (the source directory)

Here's what happens:
