It refuses the build PDF's in "doc/interpreter/" directory. Even when entering
"../conf.texi" when asked, it does not work. I have to enter the full
path (which
is pretty boring).
But I have MSYS/GnuWin32 bin directories *before* MiKTeX bin dir. I should
try again with the opposite, as you do. Note however, that this problem popped
up *after* the release of 2.9.12 and I only experience it when building CVS.
