Hi Robert, i also have the cvs checkout problem. Updating the checkout I already have fails too. It may be broken ore disabled by somebody. I am shure, it (cvs update) worked yesterday (2009-03-10 about 17:00 UTC).
I used *MinGW *and *MSYS*. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780&release_id=595197 http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe README-MAINTAINER.txt is a bit misleading. Talking about cygwin on the top of the file and about MinGW later on. The *python *stuff: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.4/python-2.5.4.msi http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=78018&filename=pywin32-213.win32-py2.5.exe http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=15583&filename=py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.5.exe http://www.averdevelopment.com/python/EasyDialogs for Windows-46691.0.win32.exe Yes, install all of them to c:\python25 The *Nullsoft *Installer: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=nsis&filename=nsis-2.43-setup.exe my *PATH *used in MSYS console: export PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Python25/:/c/Program\ Files/NSIS/ I am used to WinCVS (www.wincvs.org) which is a GUI frontend to cvs. But cvs client from msys should work too. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsgui/WinCvs2_0_2-4.zip?download If Installing WinCVS, also install CVS-NT if asked so by the WinCVS Installer. So with above stuff and if the cvs checkout is working again, you should be able to build mspgcc on winXP. Greetings Matth Roberto Padovani schrieb: > Hi Matthias, > > thanks for your reply!
