Re: g++ build error, collect2, forked process died unexpectedly


I tried disabling Windows Defender in 'services.msc' and restarting my
computer but still no luck.  I'm guessing there's some other
unknown/unlisted BLODA installed on my computer, but I'll be darned if
I can figure out which one it is.  I'll try it on a different windows
7 computer to see if I can get it to work there.
