SDL 1.3 Compiling Help?

Hi. I am trying to compile SLD 1.3 to run on windows using mingw. I am using MSYS to compile it.
When I use ./configure --prefix=/mingw everything works fine.

However, when i make and make install, this happens:
$ make
/bin/sh ./build-scripts/updaterev.sh

$ make install
/bin/sh ./build-scripts/updaterev.sh
/bin/sh ./build-scripts/mkinstalldirs /mgwin/bin
/bin/install -c -m 755 sdl-config /mgwin/bin/sdl-config
/bin/sh: /bin/install: Permission denied
make: *** [install-bin] Error 126

I have tried disabling anti virus while it runs and it still doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

That is weird. I haven’t worked with mingw in a while.
I know that on Linux you will get a similar issue if you try to do an make install when you aren’t root or have root privileges.

However, if that is a direct output, check your typing. It’s saying /mgwin/bin. It’s possible that’s the issue. It’s trying to install to a directory that doesn’t exist.

So, check to make sure you are typing it correctly and that the directories exist. And if that all looks good, check to see if you are administrator and have write privileges to those directories.
