Yes, at the moment. There is no such thing as 'MinGW' environment. There is a MSYS environment, which at one stage I tried to support. With MSYS you have Windows tools and shell environment PLUS a couple of tools like mingw version of gcc, ld etc. So 'in theory' the Windows build with the gcc toolchain selected should work: this is mainly 'use Windows filenames with gcc compiler'. Of course config/config.py is found under Cygwin but not MSYS because MSYS is CMD.EXE: you have to use Windows filenames like config\config.py Something like that anyhow. Mumble .. there's a way to select the compiler in the config step, something like --hostcxx=gcc should work. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
