Hi,

Yes, I was using the MSYS shell.

I've tried using the Windows command line and here's the output I get:

C:\Programming\Inkscape\inkscape>make -f Makefile.mingw Error on line 19: expecting target : dependencies

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,

I'm new to Inkscape.

I'd like to compile the program on Windows. I've followed the instructions on the website however I'm getting the following error:

$ make -f Makefile.mingw copy config.h.mingw config.h make: copy: Command not found make: *** [config.h] Error 127

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

That could be a problem using a bash (or other such) shell instead of the default windows command prompt.

"copy" is the window's command. "cp" is the "standard" command. Try using "cp" instead of "copy"
