Just because it exists, I've got TDM-GCC 4.9.2 and installed it in some different folder.
(NOTE: I'm using a 32bit Win 7 and I currently maintaining only 32bit applications)
This is what I've done after that :
1. Added the compiler to the existing sets (Menu --> Tools --> Compiler Options --> Add a new compiler by folder)
2. Copied "rm.exe" to bin folder of TDM-GCC.
3. Made a few non mandatory, trivial, aesthetic, tweaks in file devcpp.ini such that I have two new sets: a 4.9.2 debug and a 4.9.2 release
4. (32 bit matter, made just to avoid ld warnings) Changed library folder from whatever_folder_you_used\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib to whatever_folder_you_used\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib32 (simply said, I've added 32 to the end of the path).
The early, not-so-thorough, testing result is that my favorite cocktail of old good C and basic templated C++ appears to compile and work like before.
Give it a try and let the others know...
Better yet, using the automatic configuration button, it will fix issue 1, 3 and 4 for you. All that is needed is rm.exe from any old GCC installation.
Many thanks for the explanation! I've simply applied what help file taught me and got a result that was not matching my needs, hence my message.
OT: I would appreciate you change the appearance of the 2nd and 3rd buttons 'cause they are the same.
Apologising for my buzz !
