As reported on the MinGW-Users mailing list, there is an issue with buffer overrun regarding 'MAXPATHLEN'. MinGW's sys/param.h defines 'MAXPATHLEN' as follows:
#define MAXPATHLEN PATH_MAX where 'PATH_MAX' is 259. The issue is that make expects 'MAXPATHLEN' to be considerably bigger (1024). To correct for it, I created this small patch: --- make.h.orig 2010-07-20 09:12:06 -0400 +++ make.h 2010-08-16 08:50:54 -0400 @@ -130,6 +130,9 @@ # define PATH_MAX MAXPATHLEN # endif #endif +#ifdef __MINGW32__ +# undef MAXPATHLEN +#endif #ifndef MAXPATHLEN # define MAXPATHLEN 1024 #endif Cheers!
