I suspect that the same problem will manifest with mingw32. It's nothing that downloading the platform SDK won't solve, but if you download that, you've got the MS build tools anyway. I don't plan to look at mingw32 myself, and I don't want to deal with patches for it until I've completed the features I have planned for the build system; once done, adding mingw support should be reasonably simple (just change the object and library suffixes and compiler flags...). --Wez. > now that the dependency on VC has been dropped, what would it > take to get mingw32 build support?
