Description Rich 2014-06-18 15:57:42 UTC 
defaults.sh uses incorrect default url's:

SF_MIRROR "http://heanet.sourceforge.net/sourceforge"
doesn't work.
should be
SF_MIRROR "http://sourceforge.net/projects"

BINUTILS_SRC_URL "$SF_MIRROR/mingw/binutils-2.20.1-src.tar.gz"
doesn't work.
should be
BINUTILS_SRC_URL "$SF_MIRROR/mingw/files/binutils-2.20.1-src.tar.gz"

any of the default url's which use $SF_MIRROR must have "/files" in the path.
Comment 1 Rich 2014-06-28 11:10:02 UTC 
The value of SF_MIRROR in defaults.sh in gnucash-on-windows.git is:
"http://heanet.sourceforge.net/sourceforge"

should be:
"http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge"

But this can be corrected in custom.sh, so this is not really a bug.
Comment 2 Geert Janssens 2014-09-16 22:01:24 UTC 
Thank you for your report.

I have looked into these issues and the current defaults.sh script now uses
SF_MIRROR "http://downloads.sf.net"
which is a more generic name that pick a random mirror instead.

With this prefix
BINUTILS_SRC_URL "$SF_MIRROR/mingw/binutils-2.20.1-src.tar.gz"
appears to work fine on my system.

I will close this report now. Should you still encounter problems feel free to reopen and we'll investigate further.
