MinGW = Minimalistic GNU for Windows

GNU = GNU 's Not Unix

it's not Unix, but GNU/Linux, GNU-Darwin, some GNU/*BSDs, GNU/Hurd

http://www.gnu.org

you might know
gcc, gdb, glibc.

let's just say that gcc and gdb is for GNU/Linux [and ArchLinux] what MinGW is for Windows

so after this in-depth (:P) analysis, why do you need mingw in AL??
If you want to start an ArchWindows Distro, then things change..

anyways, welcome to the board and to ArchLinux!!

well the thing was i wanted to compile reactos under archlinux www.reactos.org!

but iam sry :oops:

Actually, there IS a reason why one would want MinGW on Linux : to cross-compile. I beleive, quite a bit of development with MinGW is done via cross-compiling.

Hello

I started the editing of the two (for now, 4 for later on) PKGBUILD to install mingw.

I did an error in it even if I followed a great number of howto. If you are still interested in it, just help me finding the bug. Maybe it will compile on your computer.
