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.
