I just downloaded and installed the latest bundle
release of MinGW (2.0.0) and MSYS (1.0.8), and both
seem to work fine, except when trying to compile SDL
1.2.5. It was ok for a quite a while, but then it
stopped with this error:
dlltool --as=as --dllname SDL.dll --exclude-symbols
_DllMain at 12,_cygwin_dll_entry at 12,_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry at 12
–def .libs/SDL.dll-def --base-file .libs/SDL.dll-base
–output-exp .libs/SDL.dll-exp
c:\mingw\bin\dlltool.exe: installation problem, cannot
exec as' make[2]: *** [libSDL.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/c/SDL-1.2.5/src’
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/SDL-1.2.5/src’
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1—
I have no clue how to deal with this. ‘as’ is present,
and my mingw/bin is in the path (I think that’s the
right term) as I can run ‘as’ from anywhere.
Thanks.

did you “move” the as??? I well guess that the dlltool has
hardcoded the path to the as and it is not sufficient to
just have it in path. Lookup the full path to the as that
is currently working for you, and use the dlltool option to
hand it over to dlltool --as <name>. See what it says and
guess what’s wrong…

Just thought about it for another second - isn’t it that dlltool
is called trough libtool here? Is that a problem to be taken to
the mingw mailinglist? Anyway, just wild guessing - have fun, guido
