It took us a hell lot of time to build up a debian repository (http://deb.clazzes.org) with mingw-w64,zlib,libxml,omniorb,libpng,libtiff,qt4 etc. and we're happy that all this stuff plays together well and is stable, where stable means more than having a stable compiler toolchain. So we did not have the time to play with gcc-4.5.x for now. Moreover, it's not so easy to keep up to date with all the different packaging philosophies out there, we have mingw-w64 snapshots, sezero, TDM, dimitij Ledkovs's debian packaging efforts.... ....many ways to get confused :-/ >> Just for clarification: The DDK header seem to be back in your distribution, >> so I don't have to pull in ddk_test manually, is this right? > > Many ddk dependency headers such as usbioctl.h are in.

Well, many questions here: Which gcc-4.5 (TDM,vanilla,sezero, see above?), which binutils etc...
