Same here :-| And I keep my Cygwin reasonably current. Claus> So, things to check in your build process are: Claus> 1. Is your MSys/MingGW installation complete? As far as I know. It used to work fine -- in fact, it _still_ works fine if I build the commit that corresponds to the 22.2 release. Claus> 2. Is MSys/MingGW first (before Cygwin) in your path? No, it's not on my PATH at all -- I just invoke c:/msys/1.0/bin/make "by hand". That's always worked in the past. Claus> 3. For programs that MSys/MingGW doesn't provide, is there a Claus> fallback (Cygwin)? Yes. Claus> 4. Is your working directory clean? Yes. I _always_ "git-clean -dxf" before attempting to build. Claus> 5. Are your build-flags sane? I believe so. Claus> 6. Are you using mingw32-make? Yes. Claus> 7. Before building, do you run "clean" and Claus> "bootstrap-clean"? Effectively, via "git-clean -dxf". Claus> 8. Do you bootstrap? Yes. Claus> I have included my build-script below - it works realiably Claus> for me since months; perhaps it gives you some pointers.
