A GCC 4.2.1 binary release for mingw is available. You can download it from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 under gcc-4 The binaries are archived by language. There are two versions, differing in the model used for exception unwind info. (1) Setjump-longjump (sjlj). Historically,and currently, the default model. (2) Dwarf2 table-based unwinding (dw2). The more efficient model. *This version is built with Dwarf 2 unwind info enabled. The gcc, g++ and gfortran drivers in the bin directory have a '-dw2' suffix to indicate that, You can remove '-dw2; from these files if you like. If you want sjlj you will find them (soon) in the gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-1 package The binaries were compiled with --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs. The runtime libs are in <mingw-root>/lib/gcc/mingw32/gcc-4.2.1-dw2. Do not move these files. If you really must, don't bother reporting installation bugs. Please consider this package as experimental. To get core C compiler, download: gcc-core-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz To add on other languages, download one or more of these (in addition to core): gcc-ada-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-g++-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-gfortran-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-objc-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz Extract the files, maintaining the directory structure, into your root directory for mingw. Be aware that some archive extracters do not preserve read-only attributes of files. If you are installing the Ada component, please check that the files in the /lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-dw2/adainclude and adalib directories are flagged as read-only. This attribute is necessary to prevent them from being deleted when using gnatclean to clean a project. * libstdc++ and libgfortran require version 3.13 of mingw-runtime and w32api version 2.2 or higher. * This package does _not_ contain binutils, the mingw-runtime or the w32api. You will need to get these if you do not already have mingw installed. * libstdc++ and libgfortran require version 3.13 of mingw-runtime and w32api version 2.2 or higher. Yes, I've said it twice now. * Static and dll libraries of libgcc and libstdc++ are in the release. By default, linkage is to static libraries. More details later. * OpenMP is enabled. To use it you will need to have win32-pthreads package installed. More details later. This release contains: 1) Source distribution, with mingw-local patches incorporated: gcc-4.2.1-1-src.tar.gz (This is the whole shebang. Maybe some day I'll have time to break up into language components.) 2) Binaries gcc-core-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-ada-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-g++-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-gfortran-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz gcc-objc-4.2.1-dw2-1.tar.gz 3) gcc-4.2.1-build-dw2.sh, which is the script I used to configure and build. 4) This file.
