MinGW installed correctly (ver 5.1.3)
Fantastic idea!! Went smoother than the last time I tried MinGW!

However...
Found that the user Environment Variable posted by MinGW was "C:\Work\MinGW-32\bin" and not the path selected for the install.

Confirmed setting after reboot.

This is minor and was easily fixed!

(feature request) Any chance the user be advised to double check the install by typing "gcc -v" at the prompt in a command window? (see Yongshin Yu's Blog at http://yongshin.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-use-cdt-and-mingw-for-eclipse.html )

AGAIN..THANK YOU!

    We do not set the PATH variable during the install.
