Hi All, Hi Andreas On a Windows XP machine In custom.sh I had a line like
GLOBAL_DIR=C:\\soft\\msys This resulted in perl not being found. When I subsequently changed it to GLOBAL_DIR=C:\\soft it reinstalled msysDTK but casused other problems resulting in applications not being compiled. I suggest changing things so that ignorant people like me are porotected from such disasters of thier own making.
