The PATH _must_have_ the gnuwin32 bin directory first. The GCC_EXEC_PATH must be set correctly with a trailing \ or /. The command "gcc -v" will give you the version you are using and properly test the GCC_EXEC_PATH variable. You should see: Reading specs from gcc driver version 2.7-B19 executing gcc version 2.7-97r2aBeta ---"Jenny Gable (Skywind)" wrote: > > I'm having trouble with linking (first program, using example code), and > found in the docs, > > "The regular setup allows you to use the option -mwindows on the command > line to include a set of the basic libraries (and also make your program > a GUI program instead of a console program), including user32, gdi32 > and, IIRC, comdlg32." > > So says the documentation, but gcc and ld both complain that -mwindows > isn't a valid option.
