a mingw to tryout

might notice i included svn in my last build (mostly to have a complete solution for those who wants to try compiling codeblocks with it) but also nice to have incase you make dailey svn updates.

one question the devs could maybe answer me is some trouble picking up include and library paths from some libraries installed under mingw with msys ? one trend i noticed was the libraries get installed as a subfolder to the real include path when built with mingw/msys so feks freetype's include dir is actually mingw/include/freetype2/freetype instead of mingw/include/freetype so each time i need that library i need to include the subfolder freetype2 to pick it up. and theres a lot of other cases.

i guess the reason not to follow msys/mingw's way of installing libraries is because codeblocks uses a devpak system much like dev-cpp where the relevant libraries are installed like on msvc ?

gcc-4.5.0 release is now up on google code :)

didnt notice any big changes besides libgcj was using a hack for cygwin dll's (which funny enough built as a cygwin dll on mingw) Oo had to make a few changes to use the standard name instead of cyggcj.

about to pack a new crt build also (has had quite a lot of fixes especially to sockets).

btw in case you get errors from winsock.h make sure you include winsock2.h before windows.h since windows.h will link with winsock.h unless winsock2.h is included first.

great! an up to date mingw  :D

ty :) the mingw folks have there own version so cant really say they havent been trying this time :)
the difference from mine is theres rely on the mingw runtime dll mine doesnt.

that and they skipped libgcj (maybe wise enough since its not really stable on win32 yet).

also theres a minor bugger with this version of gcc (same for the mingw one),

its unable to compile a monolithic wxwidgets because the object files grow to big for ld to handle.

it does build fine with wxwidgets if you create the library with a former version of gcc (one on my page)

but is a bit akward and i hope to fix it sometimes soon.

also the runtime this one uses is from mingw64 (fork of the wine crt headers)

so you need to use the binutils from my site (mingw's wont work since it relies on sysroots).

else pretty much anything from the standard mingw that doesnt rely on the mingw dll will work with this compiler.

well heres something completly new (or rather old depends how you look at it) ;)

i succeded in porting Mico::CORBA to mingw ftp://90.184.233.166:21/mico-gcc-4.5.0.lha so if you're in need of a proven freeware idl compiler here you go :)

normally this was only buildable with cross cygwin/mingw and only the main mico dll was build. rest was linked static, not anymore this is a full shared build.

i also ported the old snacc asn1 compiler to mingw ftp://90.184.233.166:21/snacc.7z (can be used with mico).
