Hi, thanks for quick reply. I have version 5.4 and it is located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\5.4 2016q3\bin
I changed the Makefile.windows file to reference the newer GNU tools but still had a problem. What I found was that the install directory (Program Files (x86)) was an issue for my git bash shell. Apparently Unix doesn't like "(".
To make a long story short, I ...
copied the GNU Tools to C:\Program Files
commented out the ifeq statement in Makefile.windows and forced PROGFILES := C:/Program Files (though this still didn't resolve the issue)
So then I added a statement to my .bashrc file to insert the Program Files path at the beginning of my PATH variable to force it to look in that location.
Now I can build the library. Not a very elegant solution but works for now.
