NO, the getting started isn't sufficient. I went through the manual install recently and it is a BIG PITA.

The stuff you need seems scattered all over the damn place. 

For people just starting out in this field it just feels like I was doing it wrong or something (but apparently not! back to the 80s).

Detailed information about WHAT i'm installing isn't easily accessible, especially for people without any experience.

So I end up with a lot of questions and the answer to them doesn't seem trivial (not even with google, or reading the webpage top to bottom)

Also, some of the people running this board are so hautain that I wouldn't even want to ask any questions here. 

Anyway, i got it all to work, i don't really care about Mingw, as long as it compiles c++ code on my windows box i'm happy. 

Carry on.
