TEMP is set same as TMP in autoexec.bat.
However ... looking through the configure script in more detail I note that
temporary files are written to /tmp, which as you say is mounted by msys to
windows TMP directory. It is then trying to call 'mktemp' to form a unique
temp directory name - due to my path it's possible this picked up the cygwin
'mktemp' which may have returned the incorrect format path to msys 'sed'. I
will check this out later when back on my Windows machine.
Thanks both for offering help.
