You know - this sort of issue happens all the time on windows builds for
EPICS, synapps, and area detector and I am always amazed that there isn't a
location where people have specifically stated the exact version of what and
where they obtained EVERYTHING, and that it is *known* to work.

I.e., I'm using this (hopefully) free version of a Microsoft compiler,
whatever specific perl or gnu utilities, got my sources from this location,
patched or kicked back versions of sources when people twiddle with them.

I've never understood the point of making everyone build everything from
first principles when the target your going for is always moving or isn't
all based upon the "official" stable distro's. I'd much rather have my
entire development environment be identical to everyone else's; so people
can focus their time and effort on doing <whatever>, not trying to figure
out why their stuff doesn't build.

What version of gnumake are you using on Windows? When I use 3.81 I get
similar errors compiling my code in extensions. When I switch to 4.1 the
errors disappear.
