Umm, not sure what mSys is.

What I did was to download and install the full dev-c++ IDE, which 
includes a mingw distribution of g++ and friends.  So it should be 
completely generic.

The only guess I can make is that there's some settings state left over 
from when I was using the subset version of dev-c++, which has the class 
browser but no compilation platform.  ( I first tried to use the subset 
dev-c++ with the DJGPP distribution of g++ etc., which the app I am 
working on has as its official compilaton platform.  I never got it to 
work either: it was missing a couple of utilities that dev-c++ needs, 
windres and dllwrap. )

I think there was some email a week or two back about finding and nuking 
one's dev-c++ settings.  I may go and have a look for it.
