Hello and thanks for MonetDB. Splendid stuff. Brilliant. I am trying to build a 32 bit version of 11.19.3 on Windows from the latest tarball. Root folder is R:\src\libraries\MonetDB-11.19.3. Building in R:\src\libraries\MonetDB-11.19.3\bin The build is failing at the point shown below. What have I missed here? The build folder is a sibling of /NT as indicated in the windowsbuild.rst ...? Many thanks for any pointers.
