Hi,

I'm trying to build epics base 3-14-12-1 on Windows XP with the Mingw compiler, and I've been having trouble.  Things appear to go well until the build reaches this point, where it looks for some Com.coff file in the /src/libCom directory.  The file's not there, and I haven't found it in older versions of base that I have been able to build successfully.  Any idea what's going on?  I've set my EPICS_HOST_ARCH to win32-x86-mingw.  I'm also using ActivePerl and GnuMake.  The tail end of the build output is below.

Thanks for any help.
