Hi Tim S.
Yes you’re right, they do mention the MinGW version somewhere down the line. Just wasn’t sure if they change something along with the development of the pack, without mentioning it. And since the compiler version seems to be an issue of vast importance, I had assumed that they’d mention it every time in the release notes, not just when they change it. Anyhow... I know now, so thanks for that one.
Tim, I must admit, I am quite afraid of posting questions in this forum, because I always seem to be close to getting told of for something I do wrong. On one hand, forums are the place to get good help from experienced people, on the other hand they appear to be places where people hide behind a pseudonym, without anybody knowing who they are, which puts them in a rather safe position when it comes to letting inexperienced users know that they are not exactly bright... (not to use the term “idiots”).
It might help telling people what to do and where to look for solutions instead of using all those NOTs, DON’Ts and WRONGs (that’s how I try to raise my children – they are never afraid of asking questions). In my opinion there’s two ways of handling an annoying thread: 1. Politely show the right direction and 2. Just ignore it. Obviously my opinion isn’t the only one...
Nevertheless, I thank you very much for your inputs (I really mean this)! My problem with the errors was solved by digging deeper into the issue and tidying up the paths to the libraries. Guess you know that sometimes it isn’t that easy for a newbie to understand when to use _lib and when to use _dll. And being a newbie is where we all start, isn't it...
