Dave/Mark,

Yup. This is the bug that got me. Running just gcc from the c:\mingw\bin directory throws the same error.

I removed the old MinGW directory and reinstalled MinGW just to be sure. Same error. So I followed Dave's link to the bug and read through most of it. I am surprised that this error has been around for a year and no new build of MinGW. The installer is very poor, but I got what I paid for! I have pulled all the 4.8.2 Pre files down and will install them against the current directory.

I hope this clears the problem.

Thanks to both of you.

Bill

This appears to be a result of mingw bug #2108:

(Your specific error is mentioned a couple of replies into page 2.)

Further, I should have added that
"https::/github.com/windows-build/archive" returns a 404 error.
Try:

   https://github.com/simh/windows-build/archive/windows-build.zip

...instead.
