Strange... could you run configure --disable-silent ?  (I'm not sure if
this will show everything, but we need to see what options are exactly
passed to gacutil)

E:\projects\Nemerle>perl configure --disable-silent
Unknown parameter: --disable-silent
Try: ./configure --help

(forgot to specify - I'm using MSYS/MSYS DTK 1.0)
Nemerle sources were updated today :)

Maybe it is a problem with out.stage3/Nemerle.dll path? Could you try
running the gacutil command manually and specify out.stage3\Nemerle.dll
path? Probably the script must be somehow changed to work correctly on
non-cygwin installations.

When I run this in the root of Nemerle folder, all works fine
gacutil /i ncc\out.stage3\Nemerle.dll

so, it seems there is a problem in the installation script when working
under MSYS

Exactly, I'm not sure how we can handle / and \ in a cross-platform way...
Cygwin and Linux uses / in paths.

strange, when I'm running "gacutil.exe /f /i out.stage3/Nemerle.dll" from
the console, all works fine. But when I'm running installation script,
gacutil outputs usage information. It seems like arguments were spoiled by
script (?).
I'm not experienced in unix shell, unfortunately :(

It seems like Mingw 'make' can't handle concatenating command with
additional parameters... and I'm not sure how to workaround it.

In general it's much wiser to use cygwin instead of MinGW
