Dear guys,

I have tried to install EPICS base 3.15.4 in windows 8.1 64 bits using MinGW tools, following instructions in EPICS.org: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/win32.php and Mark River explanation. 

I have used the last version of Visual studio 2015 and all the building tools required.

After "make" command execution, everything looked going on perfect until the point the installation has used the "link" command (see below). It says that "link" command does not understand -n option. I have checked that the link.exe command installed with VC2015 has the possibility of using that argument, but the link command from MinGW GNU tools cannot. Any idea or someone with the same problem?

Thank you very much in advance!, console outputs coming below

Try `link --help' for more information.
