you need to add the following to your environment variables:

minw path-to-mingw

for example:

mingw c:\mingw

Oh, and a little add on to drago's thing - he's been helping me on irc with using a dll, you need to have MingW for compiling modules.

Then, you've gotta set your enviornment paths for it. Go to control panel, System, Advanced tab, click "Enviornment variables", in the new window that pops up there is a listbox labeled "System Variables". Within this, scroll down to a variable named "Path". Select it, click edit. Move to the end of the text, and add a semicolon (;), and paste in the path to your mingw bin directory.

I added ;C:\MinGW\bin to the end of my path variable. Then, create a new dos prompt (not an old... this was one of my probs for a while), change your dir to bmax bin dir, and call:

BMK makemods brl

If for instance you want to recompile blitz research modules
