I don't know what's going wrong. At that point it is supposed to be making Rzlib.dll (as the error at the end shows it was). That is made using src/extra/zlib/Makefile.win. I don't see any calls to "sed" in there, but there's one in the implicit rule to make the .dll (in src/gnuwin32/MkRules), namely $(SED) -n $(SYMPAT) Do you have a definition for SYMPAT that overrides ours, or SYMPAT64 (which is used in ours)? If that's not it, you could remove the @ sign from the beginning of that line in MkRules, and see what it is trying to do just before it dies. Duncan Murdoch
Off-the-cuff: Is there a virus scanner active on the system? We have had a couple of reports that turned out to be antivirus software swiping files away for checking right under the nose of their confused maker...
