   That's good news. :)

2 ways:
1. from Msys, from the BUILD/examples dir I am running the script
"./simpleindex"
2. from Windows cmd.exe with a modified path to point to .a's and
xapian's .dll, from a given dir where I have "simpleindex.exe" taken
from BUILD/examples/.libs.

In both cases it runs, but it crashes on the line that I specified.

   Nope. It gets stuck here:
