Hi Jan, thanks for your thoughts!
There are no spaces in my path. I'm doing everything within a folder called C:/pd_externals. Also, I'm actually compiling for 32-bits, at least that's what I thought mingw32 is supposed to do... It's only the overall MSYS2 release that is 64bit. Anyway, if there's anyone who has compiled simple externals for Windows using MINGW recently, please let me know and show me how you did it! > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 07.
