when i install MinGW on windows
the FIRST check is any of the "hello world" c++ programs
then the SECOND test to make 100% sure that EVERYTHING on windows and mingw is set up CORRECTLY
like setting the $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ( in
WINDOWS AND MINGW!!! ) and all of ming is installed in a tree
that has NO!!!!! "blank spaces" in the folder names
--- DO NOT !!! install mingw to c:\\Program ( BLANK SPACE) Files \ mingw
is to build from source "The Gimp "
and most of the dependencies
if ALL that is required to instyall a FULLY working "The Gimp" is to
ONLY type this
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
and ( --prefix=/usr) installs ginp to
c:\\Gnuwin32\Mingw\bin\gimp
THEN i know that Mingw is installed and configures CORRECTLY
