> the difficulty you have with learning makefiles I learnt makefiles years ago, and fortunately haven't had to deal with them for some time :-) It was going back to them that was painful - it felt like going back to the 80s.

All the IDE's I use can set all the compiler options. And since I mainly use Delphi and Pascal (and C# a bit), there is no need for makefiles - Pascal doesn't need them. > ps: installing cygwin + prc-tools = 10 minute job with latest cygwin > (if you know what you are doing - thats the big question *g*) Yes, it is a big question. It shouldn't be, but it is. Installation programs have moved on in the last few decades too :-) Why should I need to learn cygwin before I can do a simple install?
