  It's not the makefiles "going about everything the wrong way", it's YOU.

  Yes, the makefiles are good.  They take a bunch of source, and build it with
MSVC, and link it against the MSVC import libs, and all is good.

  Now you've taken the makefiles, kept them the same, taken the sources, kept
them the same, but you've changed the compiler to gcc.  WHY do you refuse to
use the new import libs that go with the new compiler you've changed to using?


    cheers,
