Hi Edward,

I've been extensively using Mingw32.  I've looked at EGCS at had some
success with version 1.01.

Here's how I've structured the directories for the different packages:

mkdir c:\root
#Then put each package under root
c:\root\cygnus
c:\root\egcs
c:\root\mingw32
#Create a bin directory
mkdir c:\root\bin
#Create three .BAT files and use these to initialize the sessions.
c:\root\bin\cygnus.bat
c:\root\bin\egcs.bat
c:\root\bin\mingw32.bat

For mingw32 and the egcs-mingw32 you need to:
SET CYGWIN32=notty nobinmode notitle
SET MAKE_MODE=unix  (if you plan to use make files with UNIX style
delimiters)
mount the c:\root\egcs and c:\root\mingw32 as text!=binary.

for cygnus I suggest:
SET CYGWIN32=tty binmode notitle
mount all directories that you plan to use for the cygnus version as
text=binary

If you don't understand this, search the archives, you'll get tons of
info.

Hope I've been of some help.
