The build environment is Cygwin, so which is the correct command to<br>
use. I'm not even sure if "where" works within Cygwin - probably not,<br>
as the PATH is in the wrong format. The same applies to a MSYS2<br>
environment.<br>

<br>
Since "which" couldn't find the correct mt.exe executable, that points<br>
to something in the original poster's environment.<br>
<br>
