Problems building dmlc on Windows

Question

I am learning about simics, now I am trying to build dmlc on a test project and following the guide on github, on the step "Building DMLC from a Simics project" using the command bin\make dmlc throws an error that bin could not be loaded.

Have been some days on research to find that and just found that I had to install "MinGW", but its not working, so now its time to ask for help, being new with this technologies make me think I am not going in the correct way.

Answer 1

If you have reasonably easy access to a Linux machine then I would strongly recommend to do your work there to start with.

Everyone in the DMLC team work almost exclusively from Linux environments. We maintain the Windows build by running regression tests on build servers, so it should work, but you can expect an unpolished development experience.
