Why does the prefix end with "msvc"? The MSVC compiler is not involved in this build or in the target system, so the prefix sounds wrong. I think you should take this up with the upstream maintainers of Ubuntu's mingw32 packages. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
