I am not seeing what you have described. If I completely remove c:\mingw I still get errors because libwinpthread-1.dll cannot be found even though it is clearly part of the mingw-64 gcc 5.1.0 distribution I am using to compile/link a program. Once I create a symbolic directory link from c:\mingw to the place where my 5.1. mingw32 directory has been installed everything works without problems. > > 2015-06-21 5:44 GMT+03:00 John E. / TDM > <tdra...@tdragon.net > <mailto:tdra...@tdragon.net>>: > > On 6/20/2015 8:25 PM, Edward Diener wrote: > > Thanks !
