Hi Fleminger,

Lcc is faster, smaller and easier to use and has quite complete header
files.  But it cannot compile c++.  Mingw32 can compile c++ but compiles
slower, is bigger and harder to use (import libraries, etc.) and the
header files are incomplete, maybe you should download the MSSDK and
patch them for gcc.  Mingw32 is probably better, if you want to port
unix stuff, but if you just want to program win32 and dont need c++ I
would take lcc. Lcc is also easier to use for a new SDK's because you
don't have to patch the headerfiles for gcc.

Hm, ok, that's all I know, cu Mete Ciragan
