Hi folks,
I’m attempting to compile on a Windows 7 machine running the most recent version of MinGW. I’m using Katja's pd-lib-builder (https://github.com/pure-data/pd-lib-builder https://github.com/pure-data/pd-lib-builder). My MinGW installer states that I have Make v. 3.81 installed (required to compile using Katja’s project). However, when I check Make version on MSYS shell, it states that the version is 3.7, thus not allowing me to compile. I cannot find any documentation anywhere on how to upgrade Make. I suspect something isn’t pointing where it should. Does anyone have any ideas why MSYS shell would report an older version of Make despite what my MinGW installer is telling me?
All the best,
Ricky

Probably because it is in the PATH earlier. What is the result of which make?
All the best,

P.S. MinGW comes with a nice GUI tool to view and select packages. If I remember correctly, the MSYS subsystem has its own build chain containing other (older) versions. It should be used only to build MSYS, so you should deinstall these.

The result is that MSYS requests Make version 3.8.1 at least to compile the source. Do you know how I can see / modify the path?

Yes, I’m using that (MinGW Installation Manager).

The curious thing is that MSYS-Make is listed in the manager as version 3.81. However, MSYS shell lists Make as version 3.7. Are you saying I should uninstall these packages using the manager?
All the best,
Ricky

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The command you should type is 'which make'. It will give you the path to the active make.

I checked it on my Windows build machine. What I had to uninstall were the msys-binutils from the MSYS > MSYS System Builder. There are some items installed from this subset, but not the bin-utils.
BTW, did you see http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started?
All the best,
