This works out of the box for makefile projects that use msvc for compilation. Sure, for my gcc-setup, yeah. But how is that being a stack of work-arounds relevant in this context? I'm not arguing either way here - I'm perfectly happy to stick with MinGW. I'm just saying that one of the problems you pointed out is not really a problem. The rest of them sounds like very much like real problems to me - not particularly big issues, you're the one who just said that perfect is the enemy of the good, no? ;) -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund kusmabite@gmail.com (+47) 986 59 656
