Fw: [Mingw-msys] conftest.c: Permission deneid

[Stephen Grant Brown]

Hi All

I am using Windows XP

Here is part of a conversion I have been having on the mingw-msys list.

I am having the same conftest.c file permission denied while building 
gnucash.

Is it worth while upgrading to gcc to 3.4.5?

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown
