When attempting to configure using the latest mingw install i get the following error...

checking for assembler local label prefix... L
checking for assembler byte directive... .byte
checking how to define a 32-bit word... configure: error: cannot determine how to define a 32-bit word

At that point configure quits

Hi,

is this using Cygwin, MinGW or MSVC?

If you are getting random hangs, it could be due to an antivirus program or an old version of MinGW.

    The main error is a particularly odd one

    when using the emerge system to compile mpir on windows xp it just
    hangs at seemingly random places while configuring yasm

    Sometimes it will fail complaining that python is too low a version.
    it requires > 2.4 and my version is only 3.3

    I am pretty sure the fault is the test in yasm\configure

    line 7890 and line 7921 declare sys.exit(sys.hexversion < minverhex)

    I think that needs to be sys.exit(sys.hexversion > minverhex)

    Not sure how this could ever compile with that bad test in there?

    Still that is fixable. the strange hangs leave me lost I dont know
    where to look. the various make logs don't shed any light on the issue
    at all.

    It just hung once again at this point

    config.status: linking
    /r/build/win32libs/mpir-20120201/work/mpir-2.5.0/mpn/generic/mod_1_2.c
    to mpn/mod_1_2.c

    config log shows
    config.status:1647: linking
    /r/build/win32libs/mpir-20120201/work/mpir-2.5.0/mpn/generic/mod_1_2.c
    to mpn/mod_1_2.c

    This is after linking many files.

    more often it will hang at configure: creating ./config.status

    When it hangs I have to kill the shell its running in ^C does not work

    Any ideas what I can do to track this issue down?
