Ah, I didn't know that the latest version of JCC works with MinGW32 out of the box. I tried half a year ago and gave up in the favor of VS7. I have both at my disposal and I chose the easier path. > As an alternative, Microsoft's $0.00 VC++ compiler, called VC Express, is > also known to work. AFAIK it's getting harder and harder to acquire VS 7 for free. Microsoft has removed all download links unless you have a MSDN subscription. > Last but not least, cygwin's gcc is not known to work with JCC.

There is an unofficial gcc 4.x bundle for Cygwin on the internet. Google for it. Christian
