[m-users.] Building Mercury from source

[Noah Scott Goldman]

Dear all,

Thanks for trying to help me with my compiler trouble. I've decided to 
try building Mercury from the "release of the day" source on MinGW-w64 
via MSYS2. I am using the MinGW-w64 version of GCC. Unfortunately, this 
approach has problems of its own. When I run

$ ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-cc=gcc 
--enable-minimal-install

I get a warning:

checking return values of system... no
configure: WARNING: Unable to interpret return values from system

The script does successfully terminate; however, when I run makeit 
usually fails. I have included the output of ./configurein a text file. 
 From what I can gather, either I am missing some libraries that allows 
C to communicate with the terminal, or those commands are not making it 
to MSYS2. Any suggestions?

Best wishes,
Noah G.

P.S. Once again, thank you all so much for taking the time out to help me.
