Re: [fossil-users] Broken windows build
Yes, that works, thank you. It seems to me though, that since msys accepts windows-style paths, it makes sense to just always use the backslash.

It has an additional optional bash environment (msys) if you need the additional GNU tools it provides, which I don't. It used to work, and this change broke it.

Re: [fossil-users] Broken windows build
No installer. RubenVB's latest build for x64. But the problem isn't mingw, it is that the windows cmd line interprets this: `wbld/translate.exe` as a call to `wbld` with parameter `/translate.exe`. There is no problem with forward slashes in the parameters of a command, just in the command itself. There used to be 4 lines that substituted a double forward slash for all backslashes in the 4 command macros (TRANSLATE, VERSION, MAKEHEADERS, MAKEINDEX), which don't do the substitution anymore. While I am at it, there is a comment in the makefile about not being able to use del and copy, and therefore using rm and cp. I used del and copy insted of them and it worked fine, so I don't know what the comment is referring to. I am using win7 x64, plain old `cmd`.
