I recently installed a new MinGW version, but failed to update the PATH environment variable, so that it still used the old MinGW environment. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.

I am wondering if something should be changed in the makefile or source code so that other people compiling vim with mingw don't run into the same problem. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.

Compilation of vim 8 with mingw on windows fails: diff.c:891:12: error: storage size of 'st' isn't known
I am trying to compile vim 8 on Windows with mingw. These are the steps I executed: git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git cd vim\src \mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak ARCH=i686 The compilation of diff.c failes with the following error message:diff.c: In function 'ex_diffpatch': diff.c:891:12: error: storage size of 'st' isn't known diff.c:891:12: warning: unused variable 'st' [-Wunused-variable] mingw32-make: *** [gobji686/diff.o] Error 1 Is there something I can do about it? Thanks for any pointer. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
