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. ---Edward Avis wrote: > > I have Cygwin32 B19.1, Sergey Okhapin's latest coolview and Mumit Khan's > egcs 1.02 for Cygwin32 installed and everything seems to work fine. > > I've looked at Colin Peter's Mingw32 page, and Mumit Khan's egcs for > Mingw32 page, but I'm not sure which suits my needs. > > I want to be able to compile native Windows applications (including GUI > apps) using gcc, without spoiling my existing Cygwin32 setup.
