may be better off installing openwatcom. gcc trsnslated programs on windows are much slower and not everything has been tested.
I wonder if we should leave MINGW support in to support in the future but "hide" the parameters, i.e. make -mng to the translator a hidden parameter?
the minGW compile does work, and recently it can compile itself even in debug mode. most commandline or simple windows programs work fine. just has a problem with backslashed filenames in some cases depending on the shell used, and callbacks seem to be a problem.
newer versions of gcc may optomize better, removing the speed advantage of openwatcom at the moment. I've only really tried the default optomization flags.
maybe just a warning banner in the production releases for -gcc on win32?
