Followed [http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin

Installed MinGW/MSYS using latest graphical installer (
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer
/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110316/mingw-get-
inst-20110316.exe/download mingw-get-inst-20110316.exe] ) per the
[http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started Getting Started] guide, and
updated the wiki page to add a note on "Perl 5.10" to avoid conflicts with
the msys-perl-bin (5.6) bundled with mingw-develper-toolkit.
Managed to build pidgin after a problem that has been previously reported,
#12563 (Unknown size of time_t), per my
[http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12563#comment:8 comment(8)]
reconfirming user-submitted workaround.
Now when trying to build just the online installer as the wiki instructs:
{{{
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
}}}
It fails at makensis.
{{{

Can't open script "C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/V3"
make: *** [installer] Error 1
}}}
Apparently there's a problem somewhere between MinGW/MSYS and
makensis.exe, as the first parameter "/V3" is interpreted as a filename,
and so translated to "C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/V3"
This is MakeNSIS v2.46 (latest NSIS as of date)
I googled quite a bit for a workaround solution, but to no avail.
An [http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/2003/Sep/0274.html
ancient thread (2003)] suggests MinGW needing double slashes for the
command-line options, but that this would break cygwin/msvc builds.
Another old thread (2007) from nullsoft forum:
[http://forums.winamp.com/archive/index.php/t-269002.html changed command
line behaviour for makensisw in v.2.25?]
And 2 related bug reports:
[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1696534&group_id=22049&atid=373085
Broken Parameter Handling for Makensisw.exe v.2.3 - ID: 1696534]
[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1796053&group_id=22049&atid=373085
Command-line parsing error - ID: 1796053]
both suggest that this problem was fixed in NSIS 2.3
Any ideas why this still happens here? MinGW bug perhaps?
