Oi! Why is "Build Modules" grayed out?

I'm trying to build modules after unzipping maxmod2.mod into blitzmax\mod.
The button is grayed out and I can't do it. Why the heck is this button
always grayed out when I need it?

I have minGW installed, I have added a MinGW variable that points to
the MinGW root and I have also added ";d:\minGW\bin" to the end of the
PATH variable.

What am I missing?

make shure you have mingw "installed" and properly.
see this thread:

Your link give me this: "ERROR:Internal error"

And I do have MinGW installed properly, like I said in the original post. Thank you though.

@Drewski

IIRC MaxMod2 also requires the SVN version of blitzmax to be able to compile, so if you dont want to much messing about its proably best wait until blitzmax 1.32

Try this one then: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=72892

Do you have vista or XP?

MinGW can be a little bit trickier to get to work under Vista.

Also, when I was first strugling with MinGW I found that even though the menu option was greyed out and blitzmax didn't detect MinGW, I could still recompile the modules by using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-D )

hah, it should have workde all three links link to the same thread.

but the domain name is different -- even though the content is the same, your login is associated with the cookie for the specific domain name.

If you view this forum through blitzbasic.com you can't view a member-only URL through the blitzmax.com domain name, unless you have logged in to blitzmax.com before as well.

Little-known fact: if you provide a link like this, it will be correct regardless of the domain other people are logged in with:

/Community/posts.php?topic=72892

That is, start with the /Community part of the URL, like so.

Somebody should put that tip in the forum FAQ
