I am compiling using MinGW 5.1.3 (GCC 3.4.2 and Make 3.79) on Windows 2000 in an MSYS 1.0.11 shell. I know that there are some problems with the GRASS Makefiles and Make < 3.81.
For example, it fails parsing lib/form/Makefile because it cannot interpret the "¦" correctly. Make 3.81 can handle the pipe correctly. However, it fails miserably with plenty of error messages about not being able to find some path, mostly like this: process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, /bin/install -c -m 644 html_library_grass.tcl /src/grass6/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/etc/form/html_library.tcl, ...) failed. make (e=3): System cannot find the path specified. make: *** [/src/grass6/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/etc/form/html_library.tcl] Error 3 There are other, equally idiotic error messages. The worst thing is that I can't kill it with CTRL+C. It spans multiple instances and keeps coming back up. What a nuisance. So, unless someone can tell me what's wrong with MinGW 3.81 and GRASS 6.3, I am stuck with Make 3.79. Anyhow, the untidy error output discussed below persists also with make 3.81.
