Unofficial Mingw (Minimalist GNU for Windows) Ports
prepared by ts at ttmath dot org
---------------------------------------------------

Here you can find an unofficial compilation of GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) 
along with some unix stuff prepared to run under MS Windows operating systems.

GCC is compiled by me from source, the rest tools are either binaries prepared
by official Mingw team or some of them compiled from source by me too.
 
In most cases you need:
 4.6.3.tar.gz
 mingw_1.0.3.tar.gz
or files with a number greater than above. The former is GCC in 4.6.3 version
with some other tools inside (msys). The latter is some other tools which
can be provided separatly.

Download and extract them to the C:\mingw directory (create this directory first).
Make sure this is the C drive, it cannot be other disk, sorry for that but is was
diffcult to prepare the GCC compiler to work with other discs. 

You should obtain following directory structure:
c:\mingw
        \4.6.3
        \common
        \python
        \subversion

The 4.6.3 directory comes from 4.6.3.tar.gz and the rest come from mingw_1.0.3.tar.gz.

Now find a following file: C:\mingw\4.6.3\Console2\Console.exe
Create a shortcut on your desktop to this file, it is a nice console with a bash shell. 
Run this console and start compiling your software.
