trying to get MinGW

[c_weed]

I always get "warning: auto-importing has been activated without --enable-auto-import specified on the command line.
This should work unless it involves constant data structures referencing symbols from auto-imported DLLs." how do I fix or hide this message?

You could make the switch part of your gcc argument list.

Sorry, so I don't even understand what it means by auto-importing? If I type in --enable-auto-import it gives me an error

Thanks for the replies

It was an issue with some version of MinGW - why not use this simple installer with fresh version of gcc, g++ and library files, also including Boost library.
MinGW Distro - nuwen.net

This does not however include gdb, which you would have to "install" by yourself - downloading it from MinGW sourceforge page: File Manager - SourceForge Downloads
then downloading needed dependencies (I think it was libexpat: File Manager - SourceForge Downloads - well, you'll get an error message when running gdb so you'll know what to download )
