RE: [Mingw-users] Building latest CVS GCC

[Kevin J. <ja...@pe...>]

Thanks for the information Andrew.  I have seen both of Mumit's howtos but
both are too outdated to be of much use.  The CVS GCC has some support for
compiling with MingW functionality, just not quite enough to work out of the
box.

It is of no use.  I need a very recent libstdc++-v3 with template-based
iostreams.

I'll take a look at this.

Thanks,
