Speaking-of... I've never got to get the MinGW auto-detect working... we should improve on that too.

What can I say... Works For MeTM :)
How did you install MinGW? Extracted the archives to some directory other than c:\mingw by any chance?

Exactly. Mine is in G:\mingw.

I'm thinking of an algorithm:

For all local hard drives:
a) Search for Any "mingw" dir. If found, ask user "is this one?".
b) Not found? Then for all top dirs, check those who have a "mingw32" subdirectory.
c) Not found? Ask the user For the mingw directory (put default dir in the dialog box)

Ta-da! :D

That's good :). Should be used for the other compilers too.

Best wishes,

yeah but we'd have to know which directories (or files?) are specific for other compilers.
