Hi,

I am using premake4 generated make files to compile my projects, which
works fine if I am using mingw32-make.exe from the MinGW 32 bit
distribution, but doesn't work with the make.exe supplied by the latest
RTools 2.16.

That make.exe first complains it can't create directories and then that it
has "no rule".

So how comes there is no mingw32-make.exe along with RTools?

I installed MinGW separately, in which case everything compiles fine with
the provided mingw32-make.exe, but I am using a different version to
RTools, so I am hesitant mixing the two, and also it doesn't support 64 bit.

I have been looking a bit into MinGW 64 bit but that looks a bit more
cumbersome (no straight forward installer, different versions, maybe
compiling from source, problems linking to windows dlls, ...), so I went
back to trying RTools as these nicely enough have both 32 and 64 bit
support (and work with my R distro), but sadly don't have
a mingw32-make.exe I could use.

Could someone please shed a bit of light on this?

Thank you,
Florian
