When I try to build the mods I just downloaded, i get an error message that reads:

uilding Modules
Compiling:blitz_app.c
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Build Error: failed to compile C:/unzipped/BlitzMaxBeta101/mod/brl.mod/blitz.mod/blitz_app.c
Process complete


Any idea why? How can I fix this...

Thanks.

You need to download GCC ( C++ compiler ) to compile the modules.


From Mark on the Beta thread :
'Build modules' requires MINGW to be installed under Win32. You will also need to add mingw/bin to your PATH env variable and add an env variable called MINGW pointing to the root mingw dir.
