(bla bla) Well, it turns out I _didn't_ need to build it myself - I've just downloaded "MinGW 3.2 rc-1" and it installed rather nicely. Shame it doesn't seem to have ASIS - anyone working on that? So now I have both gnat-3.15p and gcc-3.4.2 with GPS! If MinGW is only 3-4 months behind the GCC releases that's a period I can easily cope with. Cheers -- Martin
