This is it for certain, and as has been documented already in our building docs, (see second paragraph here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Windows/MinGW/CMake) you need gcc 4.6.x. At some point we will eventually switch to a newer version but since this will require recompiling all libraries it will take some time. I would recommend waiting for the gcc 4.8 version at least to come out, because it will include a new exception model for c++ breaking compatibility again.
You can have two versions of MinGW on the same computer but it can get messy since we rely on dlls of the compiler, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are really careful about what you are doing (copying the proper dlls from MinGW/bin folder each time) For the packages: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/ should have 4.6 if you don't get the latest repository but download the pre-packaged one instead. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
