error unrecognized option '-plugin'

<< < (2/2)

Miguel Gimenez:
-plugin is a valid option for ld.exe starting with gcc 4.5.0, and in this case is passed by mngw32-g++. It seems the ld.exe version and mingw32-g++.exe one don't match. Do you have two installations of mingw?

Can you post the output of the following command (executed in CMD)?


--- Code: ---mingw32-g++ -Xlinker -v
--- End code ---

I don't think I have MinGW installed twice but i do have Cygwin installed, i dont know if that would be the reason.

*** PROBLEM RESOLVED ***

apparently it was a problem with my MinGW installation but I don't know what it was. I ended up completely uninstalling and reinstalling MinGW and that somehow fixed the problem.
