TEMP is set same as TMP in autoexec.bat. However ... looking through the configure script in more detail I note that temporary files are written to /tmp, which as you say is mounted by msys to windows TMP directory. It is then trying to call 'mktemp' to form a unique temp directory name - due to my path it's possible this picked up the cygwin 'mktemp' which may have returned the incorrect format path to msys 'sed'. I will check this out later when back on my Windows machine. Thanks both for offering help.
