Discussing about "Building a development environment for Windows"

[micheus]

some changes have been made to eth msysgit package - it now wants to be in ProgramFiles(x86) and sets up environments in several choices on install.

The installer allow you to install it in another place other than Program Files folder as well as to install a "portable" version which must reduce the needs for Environment variables changes.

Here is the last lines of the make attempt.
CC jmemnobs.lo
CCLD libjpeg.la
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -link
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libjpeg.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/wingsdev/src/jpeg-9b'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I think the jpeg module isn't needed anymore.


I have used my own dev build that is not exactly the one proposed in the past. I'm using MinGW-w34 plus the Git for Windows and I work in the Git bash to rebuild Wings3d. (portable, running in a memory stick)
