Due to the stupid layout of Dev-C++'s MinGW "bundle", paths have to be=20
adjusted, otherwise the compiler will not find it's headers and=20
libraries. If you just do as I posted before, everything will work=20
correctly, without adjusting anything. The compiler is packaged to find=20
it's own (standard C and C++) headers and libraries automatically if=20
everything is put in the right place: that is, where the installer puts=20
them.

gcc 3.4 has nothing to do with

gdb
w32api
mingw-runtime
make
binutils

Those are separate packages, not needed to be upgraded to use gcc 3.4
Besides, the right way of upgrading is unzipping. If you ever took a=20
look at the inner layout of the .tar.gz archives of the MinGW packages,=20
you would have noticed, that they all have the same directory layout,=20
which is the same, that is created by the installer, so unzipping will=20
not create any mess anywhere. It will make everything get to the right=20
place.

gcc 3.4 works like a charm for me, and it took less than 20 seconds to=20
upgrade after download.
