Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Problem compiling gcc

[Information]

Hello Tony, 

I have found the solution to my problem, so I want to share it. 

Two packages were installed gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5, and this causes the problem. 
I have removed gcc-4.5 and cleaned the PATH (by setting up a new user and 
compiling mingw-cross-env with that user), and everything compiles perfectly. 

Many thanks again for pointing the origin of the problem. 

Have a nice day,

  Marc
