Perhaps this should be on a FAQ somewhere ? The existing docs (while useful, definately essential!) aren't quite enough to get going, I think. I'm hardly a beginner to Unix etc. but unless you have some idea where things should go in the first place, it's pretty difficult to make use of the output of 'gcc -v'. As mentioned in the docs, it's a problem when (because something is missing in mingw32) a file is picked up in cygwin32 when it shouldn't be. This in fact was my problem I think. That and a miniscule knowledge of how to program under windows... Of course, a *really* useful resource would be a tarball of a working setup for mingw32 (the cygwin full.exe presumably fits the bill for the cygwin environment :-). Such that you d/l and install full.exe, then d/l and extract mingw32.tar.gz on top of it. If anyone wants to contribute one, I'd gladly host it on the web. I'd do it myself, but mine doesn't work :-( ATB, Simon. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
