Hey Rob,
What is the actual setup that leads to this issue? Are you working with
msys? msys2? Cygwin? It sounds like it works under Strawberry, so I'd guess
it's not that. Dmitry has historically been very responsive, so if he knows
the build system, I wouldn't be surprised if he quickly got the bottom of
it. (And if I can find time, I may try to fix it myself.)

Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it." -- Brian Kernighan

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
