The mingw-builds distro uses relative paths had worked well in any install location for the past two years at least.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/ It also includes the absolute path of the build original location but if not there it's ignored as nonexistent directory. It owuld be nice if this won't happen but not critical. 2015-06-21 5:44 GMT+03:00 John E. / TDM <tdra...@tdragon.net>: > On 6/20/2015 8:25 PM, Edward Diener wrote: > > Thanks !
