From 59f304b19f33af5978be9043d1981aea497d2e6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pat Thoyts Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:45:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] MinGW: Report errors when failing to launch the html browser. The mingw function to launch the system html browser is silent if the target file does not exist leaving the user confused. Make it display something.
