I too didn't know anything about MinGW and always was a little afraid to try, but it isn't hard really. It is just a compiler which lets you make windows executables afaik.
Building mspgccdebug under windows really is quite easy if you follow the instructions linked in the previous email. The exe can then be used in windows, cygwin, etc. You can try the windows exe I built, no guarantees though: http://www.locusia.com/mspdebug/mspdebug.7z - Wayne -----Original Message----- From: Peter Johansson [mailto:rockets4k...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 30 November 2011 8:54 AM To: mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] Confused about MSPGCC / MSPDEBUG...

Does MinGW provide a command-line shell and tools like Cygwin? Or is MinGW just a compilation environment? I am aware of the MinGW binary build (which appears to track patches within 24 hours) but are there any specific reasons to use MinGW over an mspgcc binary compiled under Cygwin? (aside from the availability of the MinGW binary, that is.) Are there any problems using MinGW-compiled software in a Cygwin shell? Many thanks to anyone who can provide a brief overview of these topics. -p. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
