Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the mingw tools. But I use them native on XP/Vista, rather than using them to cross-compile from my linux boxes. > I found the setup easiest with Cygwin, which includes the MinGW tools. > Since I'm usually not concerned with space on my desktops, I just > install everything.

I gave up on cygwin some years back - we had some serious performance issues with some code, and the same code compiled "native" with mingw was substantialy faster. We also had a few other third-party tools installed that used cygwin and things degenerated into dll-hell for a bit, with variant cygwin and cygwin1 dlls all over the shop, all messing each other up. That said, I'm assured it all got a lot better since then, but I find the native mingw tools with Msys are perfectly adequate, and without the dll issues... -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
