Just installed newest MinGW to a new PC and trying to compile an app. Anybody recognize this error or have the fix?

It tells you that you didn't declare getKBChar which is part of Psychophysics Toolbox Version 3, used by MatLab and GNU Octave: http://psychtoolbox.org/docs/GetKbChar.

Does that mean euc or get.e are trying to access that? Sounds like something deep in the interpreter or compiler.

You're in uncharted waters here. Just because it's the latest version doesn't mean it's going to work and obviously something is broken.
The only version of GCC on Windows that I can currently support is TDM-GCC-64. I recommend removing what you've got and using that instead.

What? No! I don't even know how you'd come to that conclusion because it's completely unrelated.

Yes, getKBchar() is part of the backend and is defined here. I would have to do some testing to figure out why GCC can't find that particular symbol.

Oops, Google is not my friend :(

OK, thanks, Greg! I figured as much.

Am I safe to just install the 64+32-bit package? Is that overkill? What exactly do I need?
This page could probably use an update: Euphoria Translator, with at least a mention of TDM-GCC-64 and the download link.
(I wonder if you should fork Euphoria and call the new language, Habereka. Just an idea...)

Yes, that is the version you want. It can target 32-bit or 64-bit Windows using gcc -m32 or gcc -m64, respectively.

All of the docs needs updating and republishing. I'm working on it as time allows but it's lower priority until I've got 4.2 in a releasable state. Volunteers are always welcome.
