MAMEWorld Forums - MAMEUI & IV/Play - MAMEUI64 157 compile error

Hi everybody and first thing first: I wish you all an happy new year.

Here's my problem, MAMEUI won't compile. My environment is: win7, I7 4770 and latest mingw from mame site.

When I launch compilation here is what appears first:

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc --version, ...) failed.
make: makefile:142: pipe: No error
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc --version, ...) failed.
make: src/build/cc_detection.mak:10: pipe: No error
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc --version, ...) failed.
make: src/build/flags_gcc.mak:2: pipe: No error
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc --version, ...) failed.
make: src/osd/winui/winui.mak:106: pipe: No error

then compilation resumes normally for a little while and quickly crashes with this message:

First I thought something was messed up with mingw, so I erased the old directory, downloaded it again and did all the needed step again (running the 3 .bat files to setup variables again). Didn't work. I checked the variables path and no entries whatsoever had been made, so I created one manually with variable: path and value: I:\set path=mingw\mingw64-w64\bin;I:\mingw\mingw64-w64\opt\bin;I:\mingw\mingw64-w64\Qt\bin; as my mingw directory is at I:\mingw. Didn't help. So now I'm eating my own teeth as I haven't been able to help myself so far. I guess something is awfully wrong with mingw but can't find what.
