Re: [Dev-C++] Underlying Mingw and gcc

Hi Eddie,

you have writte:

Of course this is possible, just Add $DEV-CPP-DIR\bin,
$DEV-CPP-DIR\include and $DEV-CPP-DIR\lib to your PATH.

Not that I know. Most GNU Programms can be called with the -v parameter
to tell you what version it is.

You can just overwrite the old executeables, like gcc or g++, but beware
that some Dev-Packs might not work with a newer Version of GCC (I have
here wxWidgets in Mind).

Btw, I'm using only the pure Dev-C++ files without GNU toolchain because
I maintain my own MinGW installation.
