That is easily solved, just give them a Desktop icon that calls the .exe w/ common switches (like all warnings, etc). Or even a folder in programs that has shortcuts to command lines w/ each processor variety. Then they can use their happy windows interface to drag and drop their source to the icon. I know, seems stupid, but it takes the "command line" out of the picture. -Mark

This is different from Lev's installers. He uses MinGW. I use Cygwin. GDB cannot be built properly with MinGW32. The changes needed to make it compatible seem more complex than anyone is prepared to face :-). Since I can't build everything with MinGW, I chose to build nothing. This installer is a complete, all in one package with: binutils gcc libc gdb insight (yes it has both gdb and insight as separate packages, and insight is actually called insight.exe) gdbproxy giveio make, diff, patch and a few other GNU utility useful in building things. In other words, this is intended to be an all in one installer for those Windows people who expect to install things that way. It makes various checks, like only installing giveio on NT, 2000 and XP, only installing the cygwin DLL if none exists, etc. It, therefore, aims to be idiot proof (although idiots generally seem much more creative than the smart people trying to make things idiot proof). I hope this installer will make the package appeal to a wider audience. Of course those who say "its a command line system, so its useless" might be a little more difficult to please.
