I installed the latest MinGW into the default directory C:\MinGW. In Dev-C++, the Mingw included seems to have a different directory structure than the latest. Can somene please post the correct "Binaries." "Libraries,"C Includes, and "C++ Includes" directory locations that I can input into Dev? I know sounds very noob, and, well, it is ;-). It is just that things seem to be a bit more complicated with the number of nested directories in the latest, otherwise I would just match them up to the way it is setup with the mingw it comes with.
Thanks again and excuse the noobness,
Jay
I'd like to know how I can upgrade the gcc compiler too. Could experts out there provide some instructions? The gcc that come with dev-c++ is a bit old. Besides the problems pointed out by Jay, I'm not too sure which file I should download from sourceforge. Do I need the entire MinGW package? Thanks.
How I do it:
Uninstalled everything (saved my work and custom libs, headers before it).
Installed mingw 2.
Installed devc exe only. You know, the smaller install from bloodshed.
Downloaded the latest exe and lang file from the cvs (somewhere on this site) and overwrite the old one.
Modified the setting for make.exe to mingw32-make.exe.

1) install full Dev-C++. It has some headers and libraries that not included in mingw.
2) remove(rename) your "\dev-cpp\mingw" subdirectory
3) install mingw in the "\dev-cpp" directory
