mingw failing to create libbotan.a

Question

I am trying to build botan from official sources using:

D:\Qt\5.2.1\mingw48_32>python configure.py --cc=gcc --os=mingw --cpu=i386 --without-boost

all goes good, but when i use mingw32-make it ends at:

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -f libbotan-1.11.a, ...) failed.
make (e=2): System nemože najsť zadany subor.
makefile:1451: recipe for target 'libbotan-1.11.a' failed
mingw32-make: *** [libbotan-1.11.a] Error 2

does anyone have any idea what is the reason? I will be grateful for any help.

Answer 1

so, to compile this thanks to user26347 I figured out I need:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/coreutils/5.3.0/coreutils-5.3.0.exe/download

and get from there rm.exe and dlls in folder with my Makefile. this solved problem. Thanks for assistence
