Summary: GCC : Cannot find gmp-3.dll

Initial Comment:
Was using MinGW which was always working fine so far, when wanted to update it. Removed it, and then downloaded the last one to install it.

Unfortunately, it seems the new installer cannot install it properly, as running GCC 4.5 always ends in a complaint : “cannot find gmp-3.dll”. I could not find this gmp-3.dll anywhere, even at source-forge, and there is only a gmp-10.dll. I wanted to try a manual install, but not better.

If this GCC really requires a gmp-3.dll, then it should be provided by the installer or in the downloadable file at source-forge. Or else, may be the installer install a wrong GCC.

Is there a link to get the old MinGW which was working fine by the way ? (I removed the one I was using)

Message:
More feed-back : if you run this GCC from cmd.exe, then you get the
“missing gmp-3.dll” error message (the first I reported) and if you run
it from the other Windows console, Power Shell (there is a Power Shell for
Windows XP, indeed), then you get the second report I made, GCC do nothing
at all.

Message:
Even more surprising now. I have tried again, with the exact same
installer, the exact same selection of package to install (Ada and C), and
now the behavior has changed. It does not complain anymore about a missing
gmp-3.dll, and instead it is simply doing nothing at all.

I tried “gcc test.c” where C can be either a valid C file, or an empty
file or a file with any garbages you want, it does not even complains and
return any error message, it simply do nothing at all and terminates.

Unfortunately, I cannot find anymore the old MinGW which was fine.

Is there a link where it could be possible to get it back ?
