Problematic line:
Line 30 in 7d621b4
Proposed fix:
RM = del /Q
Detailed output when failing:

I think your build environment is at fault here. If it defines RM
, it better be to something that actually exists.

I used the default installation of mingw-w64 for Windows (via Win-Builds) with the unchanged ev3duder Makefile - but yes, sensible defaults are a matter of course.

You can submit a patch to check whether RM
works at all, but I wouldn't override RM
unconditionally, because mingw32-make defines it inappropriately. This might be something you want to ask them about.
