Setting up mingw without mingw-get from scratch (resolving all the necessary dependencies) looks like it could take at least a week here. Maybe I'm wrong but it appears that every DL and installation step has to be prepared carefully wrt overwriting (or not) previously installed libraries. Using mingw-get (which I did) is complicated as well if you want to avoid falling into one of the traps mentioned in this thread. martin
