It doesn't, that's OK, it's not, and that's good. > A) I'd like to have the latest development snapshot > B) I'd like to have the MSVCRT version See the replies posted today to this message: 'Getting gcc for Win32' I would definitely get 2.95.2-1 with -1 at the end. Install the packages in this order: binutils, then gcc, then mingw runtime and ignore any messages about duplicate files. > C) I'd like to have everything I may need (any utilities and stuff > that may be required to compile programs) Follow the link at www.mingw.org to 'ported software'. Also see the faq at that website for other links. For gdb (the debugger), I use version 5.0 built by Bruce Wampler http://www.objectcentral.com/downloads.htm I think you can download it directly from ftp://ftp.objectcentral.com/cyggdb.tar.gz [with Insight GUI] ftp://ftp.objectcentral.com/gdbsetup.exe [without GUI] Whom should I contact to propose FAQ updates? I would like to suggest adding those gdb links to sections 11.D and 11.E, and specifically mentioning that gdb-5.0 is more current than ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/ports/ listed in 11.E. I'd draft exact language if desired. |
