I think 4.0.2 is more than reasonable. The last time I looked at/worked with the Mingw port mods (for a GC build), they were very extensive and 4.0 is just released! Dev-C++ works great with 3.4, and I've compiled extensive libraries with it successfully. corey On 5/16/05, David Gressett <res1nntf@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > At 07:16 PM 5/14/2005, corey taylor wrote: > >Is there a Mingw 4.0 port yet? > > > >corey > > No, and it may be a while before there is one.
