Compile problem: DB w/MinGW on winXP

Hi!

That certainly is an odd one!

Help is easier if one knows exactly what one is dealing with:
version-wise.

What version of DB (current is 3.06)
What version of wxWidgets (current is wxWidgets-2.6.3)
What version of MinGW (current is installed with MinGW-5.0.3.exe)
What version of MSYS (current is installed with MSYS-1.0.11-
2004.04.30-1.exe)

Also, a full copy of the output. It should start with something
like:

In directory: C:\Projects\DialogBlocks\pristine
mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc CONFIG=debug all

The obvious question is, does a makefile.gcc truly exist in the
named directory?

Also, identifying how your Paths are set in the Configurations is
sometimes a clue to oddities (though it's inobvious in this case).

Failing anything obvious there, you can attach your .pjd file to
your email in your email client, sending to:

anthemion-devtoolsyahoogroups.com

You need to do this from an email client as attachments are not
preserved in the forum, and pasting the .pjd into the forum is kinda
wasteful.

If you send an attachment of your .pjd, others can try to run it in
their DB. You see, having never had the problem you speak of, I
have no idea how to reproduce it. Your .pjd is about the only clue
anyone might have to seeing what is going wrong. (Short of sitting
in a chair next to you, that is!;)

HTH,
Dave S.

P.S. Don't worry about ramblings, we all do that

Stop.
