error w/GNU make tool

[Marty]

Has anyone else successfully set up GNU Make to run as a tool? I'm able to set it up and run okay if there are no files to compile, but when it finds a file that needs to be built, I get the following message in the Command Results window:

process_easy: DuplicateHandle(In) failed (e=6)
make.exe: Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc0000005, addr = 0x416bb2)


Tool completed with exit code 255
_____________________________________________
I'm using GNU Make 3.76.1, NT 4.0 SP5, TextPad 4.5.0, with RE:
^\(\(\(\[^\]+\[^\]+\)\|\([A-Za-z]:\)\)[^:]+\):\([0-9]+\):
File:1 Line:2 Column:<blank>

Anybody seen this before? Any ideas?

(This may go without saying but:) The same make does work properly when run independently from TextPad.

I have the same problem.

There are 4 possible solutions:

1. Try another operating system. I have tested WIN95 98 ME and they are working.

2. Try another editor. UltrEdit in working on WIN2000 and XP.

3. Textpad brings an update.

4. You can run the compiler in a DOS-BOX, but then you can't jump to the error messages. So it's not the est way.

I try the testversion from UltraEdit(it run 45 days) ans looking for an update from Textpad.

Hi,

I'm successfully using gnu make 3.79.1 for development under Win-me and Win2K with Textpad 4.5.0 without problem. I suggest you update the make to the later version and try again.
