[m-users.] users Digest, Vol 37, Issue 9

[Noah Scott Goldman]

OK, so this time when I ran it, the installation seemed to work. In the 
MSYS2 MinGW-w64 environment, I ran

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

$ make

$ make PARALLEL=-j2 install

The installation terminated, it seems. But when I try to use the compiler...

$ mmc --make --verbose hello
% Creating initialization file...
% Invoking system command `mkinit  -g asm_fast.gc      -o 
Mercury\cs\hello_init.c.tmp -I 
C:\Berocked\MSYS2\mingw64\lib\mercury\modules\asm_fast.gc -f 
C:\Berocked\MSYS2\tmp\mtmp001296'...
% done.
% Updating interface:
% Mercury\cs\hello_init.c' has not changed.
Making hello.exe
% Linking...
% Invoking system command `ar @C:\Berocked\MSYS2\tmp\mtmp00129C'...
ar: C:\Berocked\MSYS2\tmp\00129A.a: File format not recognized
% done.
** Error making `hello.exe'.

Should I just proceed with the full installation, or is there something 
wrong with my compiler?

Best wishes,
Noah G.
