I just downloaded ruben's build of gcc 4.7.0 for 32-bit, but I think this
question applies to other (all?) other builds, too.
I tried compiling a program that links to opengl32, but got a linker error
that the file wasn't found. In the "old" mingw32, libopengl32.a was in the
lib folder. In this build it isn't. After searching for it I found it in
'i686-w64-mingw32\lib', along with what looks like many other important lib
files. in 'i686-w64-mingw32' there is also an 'include' dir and a 'bin' dir
with a few of the tools that are also in the main 'bin' dir such as 'ar',
'as', 'dlltool', 'strip' and a few others.
What is this 'i686-w64-mingw32' folder, and why are some things
separated/duplicated into it? Can I just merge it into the main
lib/include/bin dirs, so that I can compile with the standard makefiles,
without having to always adjust to add another include and lib folder?
