I usually combine them, e.g. `TARGET=gnucash-stable jhbuild -f jhbuildrc build`.</div><div><br></div><div>Make sure that you’ve started the right shell: It works only in a MINGW32 shell.

Sometimes the MINGW32 shell environment gets a little out of whack. The Powershell script is able to exert a bit more control on the environment and is more reliable.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>John Ralls</div></body></html>
