Can't remove dir

[Stephen Grant Brown]

Hi Andreas and all others

I am running Windows XP on a very old machine as I cannot afford to get 
another computer and I cannot afford to tie my main computer up for the time 
it takes to recompile GNUCash.

I have gone into msys and "cd /c/soft/tmp/autoconf-2.63" and run "make 
check" .
This results in some tests failing..

I have considered installing the source code myself, and compiling but I 
have not got the likes of /c/soft/autotools/bin in my path and so that 
fails.

I am considering adding the extra required paths to the path enviroment 
variable but am unsure how to do this.

I have asked on the mingw-msys mailing list and they have suggested that it 
could be a race condition.

Does "make check" result in failures on other Windows XP machines?

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown

Hi Stephen,

I have never seen that before.

You could try to rebuild the autotools completely by removing
c:\soft\autotools and clear the /tmp directory.  If you do not know what
/tmp actually is, type "ls -l /tmp" and look for the files listed in the
Windows Explorer.

Weird.

Ciao,
