Because it failed?

Also because msys is not selectable as part of the "simple mingw  
install". Which doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks JonY. That works better.

I have a feeling the error happened because I typed a tab by accident,  
and then deleted it. Perhaps the shell program didn't like that. I did  
nothing wrong, because as you can see... from http://elfdata.com/mingw.png 
  what I typed before I pressed return was perfect. But I think the  
shell program could have got confused.

I really think it's better to make this fully automated. Better to  
avoid problems like the shell getting confused by tabs and deletes.

Anyhow, after trying again, I got this message: http://elfdata.com/mingw2.png

Something about how it can't find make. And... that's a "joy", and I  
should keep it that way.

Sorry I don't get it. Is not having make, bad or good?

Also, I chose for "make" to be installed in the "mingw easy installer"  
thing. Why it's not there... I have no idea. Sigh.

I've noticed the "easy installer" has problems. That often it would be  
unable to download files, until I retried a few times. So perhaps it  
missed downloading "make" despite that I selected it.
