That seems to be the trouble.

Running "make install prefix=/tmp/depot/mingw_vista" doesn't provide the
i686-pc-mingw32 folder. I need to instead run "make install
prefix=/tmp/depot/i686-pc-mingw32" to get the necessary directory structure.

The resultant tarball then contains:

I then extract that tarball to C:/home/rob/mingw_vista
Then I extract w32api-3.11.tar.gz to
C:/home/rob/mingw_vista/i686-pc-mingw32.
Then I extract mingw-runtime-3.14.tar.gz to
C:/home/rob/mingw_vista/i686-pc-mingw32.
Then I extract binutils-2.18.50-20080109.tar.gz to
C:/home/rob/mingw_vista/i686-pc-mingw32.

Then set my path to C:/home/rob/mingw_vista/i686-pc-mingw32/bin.

Then everything seems to work !!!!

Thanks to all for the help - not to mention the tolerance and patience
(which must have been sorely tested).

It still puzzles me that Danny was able to fix the access problem for gcc
and g++ simply by providing patched gcc.exe, g++.exe and collect2.exe
files - yet to achieve the same fix for g77 I've had to create a whole new
installation.

Anyway, the main thing is that I've now got a g77 compiler that I can use on
this Vista box - and that will make things a whole lot easier.

Cheers,
Rob
