[Mingw-users] noticed 4 compiler problems

[Jim M. <jmi...@ya...>]

1. 
I have noticed that for sezero and auto compilers, there averages 
7-8 LONG directories for lib path totalling 284-328 characters
5 LONG directories for include path totalling 274-310 characters
1-2 directories for bin path.

2.
problem: 
the include and lib paths change with every release.

wanted:
merged include directory, merged lib directory, so that it is simpler to use the compiler, as simple as using %mingw64basepath%/include/ and %mingw64basepath%/lib/.

3.
strangely enough, on the i686 x64 compiler, g++.exe or any of the short-named tools in the 
C:\mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20100428_sezero\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin 
directory does not execute without error.  only the long-named tools like 
x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres.exe in the 
C:\mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20100428_sezero\mingw64\bin 
directory execute.

as a result, the toolset is not consistent with executable names across i686 32, i686 64, x86_64, meaning, g++.exe on one side and x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe on the other.  should all be g++.exe (short names).

4.
a BASH shell and MSYS-like tools is needed. preferably without using the curses library.  can't build any unix sources or most source trees without them (ugh!  it's the dreaded ./configure trap) (actually you can't build any unix sources *with* them either, so I guess this is a moot point).  No, I don't have UNIX, and I would prefer not to install it - high maintenance OS.

-----------------------------

I am willing to sacrifice frequent releases for a little easier ease of 
use.  I don't know about anyone else. but please at least fix #1-#3 by solving #2 and #3.

Computer memory/disk size measurements:
[KB KiB] [MB MiB] [GB GiB] [TB TiB]
[10^3B=1000B=1KB][10^6B=1000000B=1MB][10^9B=1000000000B=1GB][10^12B=1000000000000B=1TB]
[2^10B=1024B=1KiB][2^20B=1048576B=1MiB][2^30B=1073741824B=1GiB][2^40B=1099511627776B=1TiB]
Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB.  computer memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.
