First, the level of the directory path doesn't matter. You can install it into C:\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\mylongdir\another\dir\soemthingnotnamedmingw As long as you put: C:\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\mylongdir\another\dir\soemthingnotnamedmingw\bin in your PATH, everything should be ok. > In the process of the re-installation, I've rewritten the batch file that > sets up the environment - so I can't even go back and take a look at how it > was.

You shouldn't have had to go do all of that. I noticed that your first error was the Vista CreateProcess thing. That is surprising, as I thought that I tested that fully, and someone named "fx" made the ACCESS method be Vista-compatible by default. I can say that it definitely isn't required with the Win32 cross compiler running on Vista64, as I installed that just today (dated 20080428) and Hello World works great. I see you are getting around the CreateProcess issue by calling the compiler directly instead of using the front end. This is a dangerous area to be in. I will spin a completely new fresh version of the toolchain (maybe there was an error in there somewhere), run it on my Vista64 machine, compile Hello World, and if it works, I'll upload it. You can also stop by irc.oftc.net/#mingw-w64 if you like IRC and maybe it'll be easier to work 1-on-1 there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
