I am trying to build ecl (both stable from git) on MinGW (latest stable) with gcc 4.7.0. But I am presented with different errors during the make stage. Using the stable release (12.7.1) I hit upon make error while building libsocket. So I tried configure with --with-tcp=no. But then I have error in /src/c/file.d.</blockquote>
