[solved] Mingw failed to compile c++ code after update

Hello to everyone. I'm using mingw to cross-compile Win32 applications. All things had worked fine until last mingw32-gcc upgrade to version 4.5.0-*. It seems to me that C++ headers and libs were removed from that package. After downgrading to 4.4.0-2 I was able to compile my applications again. Does anybody knows how to make 4.5.0 to work correctly?

I don't use this software (yet), but I have a guess. Do you have mingw32-w32api installed? It looks as if that's where the headers are stored.

Yes, I have. Those headers in mingw32-w32api are for Win32 programs only and this package does not contain common C++ headers. In the same way mingw32-runtime contains standard C runtime headers but not C++ ones.

Looks like after upgrade to 4.5.0-4 headers are back again. It's good to see mingw fully functional again.
