Hi Jorg, If I'm not mistaken, the Readme mentions says that you have to specify a PREFIX for Windows builds. I'm guilty os trying the same "shortcut". And obs: use forward slashes and include the drive letter and colon!
I don't know what's happing with the absolute-pathname trouble - I never ran into that issue. Could the generated absolute pathnames be wrong due to the same issue? K.
