Is MinGW's bin directory in your PATH?

For some reason I have similar problems since 1.14 although MingW is installed and all paths are ok (MingW as well as path) Does BM still have its worse "space in path" problem? (thought it would be the best to install MingW in the BM directory, which is a subdirectory of "game creation") (Build modules already fails with the first directory or better blitz_app.c)

StarForce, please use the second link in this post which is a proper installer for mingw: MingW Instructions

Well it works. I can't see much speed improvement with c. about 20% at best. But then Blitzmax is sometime fasters. one of the nice things I have seen is the Blitzmax runs over twice the speed of Blits3d. Anyway thanks for all your help. Blitzmax compiles fast code thanks Mark.
