Hard links don't exist on windows, so they are copies of each other. root/bin holds default programs (gcc, ld, etc). root/mingw/bin holds specific programs(x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc). This is so that you can have multiple-targetted compilers installed on the same system, and have the files in root/bin point to the one you want to use as default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
