I posted several days ago regarding this topic (and have posted on several other boards, inlucing MinGW), and to no avail.
When I compile any project I come across this error:
cannot find -lstrmbase
Any suggestions? I've got the errors from TEN errors, down to ONE, and I have reinstalled everything at least three times. I'm spending more time trying to resolve this issue than any class project combined.

Thanks for any advice!
