Thanks for the fast reply.  But your conclusion may be made too fast ...<br><br>I had a previous installation of MinGW on my system, and then I used the KDE installer to re-install it ... probably not a good idea.  So it's not a good idea to conclude from my experience that the installer is at fault.<br>
(But it might be.)<br><br>I will uninstall MinGW, and then reinstall it using the MinGW installer, from the MinGW web site.  I'll let you know what happens.<br><br>-gary<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 3:15 PM, Gilles Caulier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:caulier.gilles@gmail.com" target="_blank">caulier.gilles@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Here, i have a version of MinGW compiler which work perfectly. I can send you an archive. But the best way is to  solve the real problem with KDE installer.<br><br>I CC Patrick to guide you (I'm not sure if he is registered to this ML)<br>

I've been following these very useful instructions:<br><a href="http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/402" target="_blank">http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/402</a><br><br>I've managed to figure out a few things that were a little fuzzy to me, but I'm stuck on a compilation issue.<br>



<br>Trying to compile automoc.  cmake seems to run ok.  If I issue a "ming32-make" from a Win cmd window, my prompt returns silently with no evident activity.  Not sure what that's all about.  So I tried from a MSYS window, and things progress, but I get an error.  I do not program in c, so I don't know where to start looking for the solution.<br>
