I've installed Windows 7 64-bit on a new workstation and need to be able to build modules again.

I've istalled MinGW, set the evironment paths, and the "Build Modules" is no longer grayed out. But when I try, I get:

Building Modules
Compiling:blitz_app.c
Build Error: failed to compile C:/BlitzMax/mod/brl.mod/blitz.mod/blitz_app.c
Process complete

Any advice?

In particular, the section about copying the contents of the 3.4.2 folder. It's essential on Vista, so it's probably essential on 7 too.

Thanks Gabriel. I actually followed all those instructions perfectly and it wasn't working. Then someone mentioned rebooting. !! That was the answer. I guess the system variables and new path additions don't take effect until after you reboot.

Have you tried running Blitzmax as an administrator?

I've just spent the last day since reinstalling after getting Windows 7 wondering why non of my projects will compile or do anything - apparently it's Win7 protecting my file system and not letting any program alter any files at all.

It seems a bit on the extreme side. Let me know if that works for you.
