Hi Mark, The system I was using isn't available anymore to check, but it was a year ago so I probably was on mingw-64 7.0 -- not sure which gcc that was. I didn't use chocolatey -- typically I would just install everything manually. Looking back on my notes though I wrote that installing "was really smooth" -- I think I only started hitting my Windows issues later ;) I definitely was able to set a custom PREFIX though because I never installed tools in C:/. cheers, George
