Similar errors occur when running make in individual src dirs.

What’s gone wrong?

I get this while compiling SDL in MinGW32.

Can you more fully describe your build environment?
e.g. what version of mingw32, where did you get the tools, do you have
any UNIX commands installed, etc.

Hello!

Perhaps it’s a problem with different
(Unix vs. Windows style) line feeds?

Ciao,

Can you more fully describe your build environment?
e.g. what version of mingw32,

MinGW 1.1 running via MSYS 1.0.7

where did you get the tools,

www.mingw.org

do you have any UNIX commands installed, etc.

Only the default that come with MSYS 1.0.7

The configure script runs alright, with lots of things missing such as
automake, but it doesn’t exit prematurely so I’m guessing that’s alright.
It’s only when I come to compile SDL that it dies.

                     Thanks,

Cool, I didn’t know MinGW had progressed this much. I’m building
SDL now and I’ll update the FAQ (and SDL) when I’m done.

Thanks!

This turns out to be a bug in the version of make included with MinGW.
I fixed it, and you can get a fixed version from:
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/make.exe
I’ll be submitting a patch back to the MinGW folks soon.

I’m putting together a README with some of the other pitfalls:

See ya!

Pitfall I just discovered – in the mingw32 I got from the SDL site, there
is no snprintf function, but there is an _snprintf. Unfortunately, _snprintf
acts just like the real snprintf except it writes one more character than
you tell it to – yay buffer overflows.On Fri, May 17, 2002 at 11:57:20PM -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:
