I build luatex under windows for quite some time, but so far it never happened, that the installer provided by mingw + msys just worked :) Most of problems I found was related to make (ie. in previous versions both mingw and msys provided make version 3.81, both printed exactly the same version message, but in fact they worked _completely_ different). But once I finally found the proper one, it was enough to hit sh build.sh sh build.sh --make (plus strip ...\luatex.exe at the end) Personally I've learned to dislike shells provided by msys as they to some magic I don't understand (simulates fstab mounting etc.). Thanks for this link, it looks promising (at least it takes care about basic utils and installs a fresh GCC version). -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski@gust.org.pl
