I always have trouble understanding the fine differences between Cygwin's gcc (uses probably pristine gcc source with Cygwin's POSIX layer) and mingw (a real port to Windows?). I really wonder why porting attempts to Windows are not already part of gcc source ...
MinGW includes a runtime environment as well as the compiler. That's outside the scope of GCC. GCC on cygwin relies on the cygwin-provided libc, which is a POSIXy runtime environment, not a Windowsy one like MinGW's. So there's nothing that could be included in the GCC source - the choice of runtime (cygwin, djgpp, mingw, whatever) is external to the compiler.
Replacing string in a file? The VS2005 IDE :)
And via script?
The Windows kind of guys I know don't do scripts. Incredible I know ;)
I'm a Windows kind of guy ;) When I'll have a decent debugger on Linux (gdb on a scale from 1 to 10 , gets 1; ddd on a scale from 1 to 10, gets 3.5), I might consider having a dual boot.
Personally I'd swap those numbers, I'd rather have no GUI than DDD's. Jon
