minipc:

Maybe minSYS could be a requirement for codeblocks. It should use it instead of the default DOS prompt. It would make cross-platforming a loot easier, since minSYS handles /usr/lib, /usr/include (you know, what you'd do in a linux box).

in case anyone is still interested in this issue...

on a ms platform, through a process of trial & error, i have discovered that if you install mingw without the mingw32-make option, then install msys, then install code::blocks, code::blocks will use the msys bash shell by default (instead of the ms cmd shell) which deals better with unix style makefiles.  you can subsequently install the mingw32-make package to get the best of both worlds, although it must now, of course, be used from within a cmd shell, rather than c::b.

horses for courses, i guess:)
