These are harmless, even if annoying. Show quoted text

We already discussed this: wxWidgets needs GNU Make to build with MinGW. Dmake is not good. There is no way around it. Regards Mattia

Ah, sorry, last time I was dealing with 30 other bugs as well, so I'm just getting back to this topic. I managed to get it working by copying make.exe and sh.exe into my path from the unixutils sourceforge project. Do you think it might be worth either a) Putting a copy of these into Alien::wxWidgets b) Creating an actual Alien::Win32::Build package of some sort to install them as needed (as well as patch.exe and a few other bits and pieces) Adam K

sh.exe should not be necessary; I'd use the make from MinGW, not the one from UnixUtils (maybe they are the same, I have no idea). Show quoted text

I'd say that any sane MinGW installation should include make.exe (or mingw32-make.exe). As much as I like Alien::, I'd rather avoid having Alien::GNUMake, Alien::GNUPatch, Alien::MinGW, ... Regards Mattia

Well, the Vanilla/Strawberry MinGW doesn't have make, we're using dmake instead, as I mentioned. I'm still not _entirely_ sure why that is, but I imagine it's got to do with EU:MM churning out nmake stuff on Win32, and dmake being able to handle it (but not entirely sure on that). But if you recommend we bundle BOTH GNU make.exe and also dmake with MinGW, then I imagine we can do that without too much trouble. The sh.exe thing was recommended by the unixutils make.exe page, to allow it's path-handling to be more compatible, and reduce the likelyhood of errors. So should we bundle make with MinGW. As for the Alien thing, I'd figured that we could put together a single pack of all the common GNU build utils... So more like Alien::Win32::GNU or something. Adam K

It's more that there was not a pure Win32 GNU make at the time. Show quoted text

Given GNU make is 264K (compressed), I'd say yes. Thanks Mattia

Fixed by bundling GNU make in Strawberry.
