Can't build wxWidgets 2.8.3

[Yuki]

Hi.
I download wxWidgets 2.8.3 and install it . but I can't build it
I use make -f makefile.gcc , but an error occurs .. I fail to build it on mingw and cygwin. I don't know how to do.Please help me.

Error Message :
aa@SCU-ASDFFDSA /e/wxWidgets-2.8.3/build/msw
$ make -f makefile.gcc
if not exist gcc_mswd mkdir gcc_mswd
/bin/sh.exe: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: [gcc_mswd] Error 2 (ignored)
if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_lib mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_lib
/bin/sh.exe: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_lib] Error 2

Thanks..

$ make -f makefile.gcc

Use the plain Windows command shell to build wxWidgets, not mSYS or Cygwin.

[Biplab]

Also remove any reference of MSYS or CygWin from the PATH variable.

[Yuki]

Thank you very much . I can build it now .

[Outis]

I get exactly the same error message. But I can't find MSYS nor Cygwin (isn't installed at all) in my PATH  and I even reinstalled mingw - without success. 

I'm using "mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc [OPTIONS]" in the shell, WinXP, latest Mingw , wxWidgets 2.8.4
Mingw and wxWidgets dirs are in D:\

Please help - thanks.

Please give us the exact commands you used and the error message.
Since if you haven't cygwin or msys installed, the error message should be different.

Furthermore it would be helpful to post the output of the

path
command.

Just for the case you don't know how to copy from the cmd.exe console:
Right click->Select Mark, mark the text with the left mouse button, press enter then the text is in the clipboard.

if you don't have msys or cygwin installed, you have to use mingw32-make instead of make

[Outis]

Thanks for helping.
MSYS is installed (but shouldn't be in path), Cygwin isn't.

Try the following commands in CMD window, note I am assuming wxWidgets in "D:\wxWidgets-2.8.4" and minGW in "D:\Mingw"

Well, it builds now, but:

I just tested it and can reproduce that error with binutils-2.17.50-20070129-1.tar.gz (e.g. binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1.tar.gz works well).

wxWidgets can be annoying 

As far as I can remember I switched to an older version of binutils cause i couldn't compile fltk.

You can try
wxWidgets 2.8.4
ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/2.8.4/

It tested on latest MinGW without MSYS .

[Outis]

YEAH! 

Thank you guys! I used now older binutils (great tip, raph!) and it compiled safly with 10 million warnigs, but without any error.
