Make tool Windows 11 CreateProcess stucks

[bazilxp]

Trying to compile llama.cpp https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

What come across , checked the Makefile , there are some (uname ) e.t.c. none of them work well (stuck )

make tool , is invoking CreateProcess ( and it's never quit :( ) ,manually terminating process(uname ) bring another e.t.c. so never works well for spawning proceses.

1.17 ,1.18,1.19 , no luck same issue with make tool :(

Simple application "hello-world.c" can compile.. I suspect something has been "changed" with "CreateProcess" since make tool not works well...

Bug not reproducible on windows 10 machine...

I suspect it's something particular to that machine. Perhaps a security tool doesn't like w64devkit's uname.exe and is blocking its load, or it hooks CreateProcess and won't allow make.exe to call it. I cannot think of a reason why this problem might occur, nor can I reproduce the issue on Windows 11. Perhaps check the event logs for anything unusual.

Checked event viewer, did not found any suspicious records. When i replaced uname( with uname from msys) it's passing this step, next place where it's stuck invoking the CC. changed CC=GCC CXX=g++ , partially compile and stuck . Thanks for the answer, we can proceed with closure of this issue.

Thanks for your awesome work under this toolchain , got familiar with it through the RayLib :) Cheers Man!
