Re: GNU Make Errors in Windows Application Event Log

Hi Ramp,

You may like to try version 3.80, please add hash.obj to NMakefile if 
building using MS nmake.exe.

Could be a bug in your compiler.

Just to confirm, is this your gnumake.exe which has this exeption? Or
one of the processes which gnumake.exe launches?

Can you try with the debug build of gnumake.exe for win32

Can you set "first-chance exceptions" to all break into the debugger.

Can you provide some more logs from your compile and also a testcase to 
replicate this problem.

Kind regards
