See the pastebin link, the blacklist was flagging something which was preventing me from submitting the bug.

original posters reported error: (from the URL provided) make -f Makefile make[1]: Entering directory `/C/mythtv/mythtv/config' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/C/mythtv/mythtv/config' EFFECT FAILED (newer -> shell): mtime of file (C:/mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmyth/lib myth-0.21.dll) should be greater than file (C:/mythtv/mythtv/last_build.txt)

They said: "It should be noted that the timestamp of 'myth-0.21.dll' is in fact greater than the timestamp of 'last_build.txt'"

My response:

• Please try using the latest SVN code wth this script (uncomment line 32, comment out line 31 of the win32-packager.pl).
• If the problem still occurs, please delete c:\mythtv\delete_to_do_make_clean.txt, and delete all *.a *.o *.dll files from all folders under c:\mythtv, delete c:\msys\bin\myth*.exe and c:\msys\bin\libmyth*.dll and then run the script again (this should give you a full/clean rebuild).

Please post here again if this doesn't solve the problem. Ticket can be closed otherwise.

I have seen these problems before (at work) and there can be some issues with the modification time on windows. From memory it was a problem on FAT partitions mailny.

Google will certainly be able to provide more information if it is still an issue for you.
