Personally I prefer seeing MinGW+MSYS as the primary platform if possible, even if most Windows developers is more used to Visual Studio.. There is a lot of benefits in keeping the build environments as common as possible across the platforms. > Unfortunately, this specific helper cannot be compiled using MinGW, > because the needed header and library definitions are missing in the > current version .... :-( :-( > I hope in the future to have the time to provide a patch to the MinGW project. :-) Been looking into MinGW+MSYS in the last days from this thread and it's status reminds me a bit of Squid-3 in the last years.. way overdue for the next bundle release with any serious development dependent on versions currently flagged as testing/unstable.. That project would really benefit a lot if they switched to the Cygwin installer giving the user better access to the available components and updates.. Regards Henrik
