Hi Antonio.

There are plans to make FWH MingW compatible ?

From July 2010 whatsnew.txt:

* New: Included the FWH libraries for MinGW (gcc).

Hi Enrico.

Thanks for the information.

I read in fivetech main page:

"With FWH we include the latest binaries of Harbour itself, for both Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and the free Borland C++ 5.5. compilers. We deliver two FWH libraries sets for both 'C' compilers"

For this reason I ask...

Regards,

Toninho.

Hi Antonio,

I now changed from FWH 10.10 to 11.01 and here I miss the libs for MinGW. Can you offer them? Thanks.

BTW... Because MinGW is the recommended and used compiler for Harbour (see e.g. nightly builds - Harbour out of the box with MinGW compiler) IMO it would be very good, if FWH will also support MinGW regularly.

With Borland C++ I have more and more problems with its limitation, e.g. last time I couldn't use alpha channel bitmap in rc file (see also QUICKACCESS with BMP in resource). So my plan is to change from Borland to MinGW in distant future.
