Why does mingw-64, or the original mingw for that matter, consistently hardcode include and lib search paths in their build for c:\mingw instead of searching for include files and libraries relative to its installation structure ?
Hardcoding absolute paths makes it so much harder running different versions of mingw-64. Using relative paths to the installation would make running different versions of mingw-64 a breeze. I can understand why a build of clang on Windows targeting gcc would use absolute paths; clang uses the gcc headers and libraries so it needs some absolute path to find those gcc files. But why mingw-64 does this is beyond me, since everything needed is already included within its own distribution of gcc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
