I knew that is as wrong for the cross-compiler, but I'm pretty much given up on that because I want the v4 compiler, rather than the v3 compiler. Above you write "MSYS-only development kit."

Is there an easy way to get a list of what can be installed with mingw-get? I still need to install the OpenSSL development code. Simson |
