Cant find headers. GCC 4.0.1/Mingw

Cant find headers. GCC 4.0.1/Mingw

[Chris Garrett]

I have been testing 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 recently and noticed that I am 
required to add the gcc include/lib paths in order to compile/link. Is 
this a bug or a feature ?

Thank you

Chris

It is not a bug and not a feature, simply you must set correct
environmental variables that's all. Why should compiler search whole
disk for a include file...

Here is environmental variables affecting GCC:

I think that I was not clear enough. I am speaking about GCC system 
directories only. You were not required to specify GCC include/lib paths 
in the previous versions we have used. We have been using 3.4.1 on 
Windows/Linux for sometime now without needing to specify include/lib 
paths. Has this requirement changed for 4+?

Thanks
