Re: Binutils bug compiling Gnome Text Editor on Windows

Hi Zachary,

Unfortunately that gives me a "404 snippet not found error".

Some things that you might like to consider/try:

  * Are you running out of memory ?
    (I am not familiar with the Gnome Text Editor, but Gnome programs
    in general tend to be quite big).

  * Are you using the latest version of the binutils ?
    (This is version 2.38 at the time of writing).

  * Is the error specific to the msys2 environment ?
    (Maybe building under Cygwin or Linux might work).

Cheers
