I am already using make with version 3.80 and what is MSYS????

What's wrong with MSYS?  It works fine for me.

If you run make from within MSYS, it runs it in the "unix-way", i.e. it doesn't use the DOS interpreter. This essentially means that commands like this

--- Code: ---if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll

--- End code ---
are invalid (the above command is in DOS-style syntax).

In other words, if you open the MSYS window you open a unix-like shell interpreter. The above command would only work under a DOS interpreter.
And, although I haven't used it, I think the same goes for cygwin too...

Ceniza:
I've always compiled wxWidgets with MSYS with no problems. Don Corleone could just mean "don't use MSYS' make to do it the MinGW way".

Basically: a console and a bunch of other utilities to do *nix like things under Windows using MinGW as compiler.

Any idea what is wrong with makefile.gcc???

Nothing 's wrong with it.
