Problem with GNU GCC compiler

<< < (2/2)

madmike:
Well I think they'll make new build compatible with Vista later so now it is simplier to use XP or Linux (it isn't so important for me).
But if someone knows any simple ways to solve this problem (i mean make gnu gcc work fine with all paths in Vista) please tell it.
And in addition if someone knows an old MinGW Studio (http://www.parinyasoft.com/) so the version with integrated gnu gcc compiler works fine in Vista without adding any additional paths...

killerbot:
when I added in CB, the following path C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5. to the extra paths I could compile and build "hello world". Will try to build it on the command line on Monday and post in the MinGW forum (if I can find them again, so unclear organized).

madmike:
Hm so i found the same problem (with linking a crtbegin.o) in Windows XP (it seems to me that it's a problem of the last version of gnu gcc 3.4.5), so i had to move this file manually from C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2 to C:\MinGW\lib and this helped.
So in Windows Vista it works too but u have to set extra paths to all necessary folders.

thomas:
Vista is at the present time generally not supported by MinGW, and will not be officially supported by Code::Blocks for the near future, either. Most importantly, that's because Microsoft made certain things deliberately complicated or impossible under Vista.

We currently have no testing platform, and it is unsure when that'll be the case. Among the things that are most uncertain are the plugin framework and the web-update system. We do not presently know if and how they will (or will not) work with Vista.
