Re: How to use MinGW?
 

From the i386pe.merge file of Metamod-p:

/* Special ld script needed, because HL engine does some PE section checking on loaded gamedlls. */
/* These checks fail and segfault HL process if default ld script is used! */

Re: How to use MinGW?
 

I've finally decided to give mingw32 a go after a long break from it (cygwin's just bugging me right now, so much won't work nicely with it). Will see if I run into any problems.

Re: How to use MinGW?
 

What problems do you have with cygwin that won't arise with mingw?

I've modified the makefile of epb to compile under cygwin with no special tricks, just a few flags have to be added.

Re: How to use MinGW?
 

There are various libraries that compile with -mno-cygwin, and others that don't, and mixing the two can cause problems, especially when something uses iostream it seems. I just got annoyed at sifting through makefiles for ages, modifying bits of source code, changing #ifdef's to account for cygwin, etc etc, so I've swapped to mingw for now.
