Not very subtle, jacob.
mongw doesn't work well under windows, unless you write
very simple console programs...
My understanding is that mingw can be used to develop native Windows
applications not just console programs. I can't comment on how good
it is because I don't use it. (jacob's statement might be correct;
I'm just providing a bit more information.)
I _have_ used it. In fact, it is my most frequently used compiler. I can
say with all confidence that jacob is expostulating out of his
fundamental orifice.
The fact that
printf("%Lg\n",(long double)a);
doesn't work is OK with you of course.
doesn't seem a major problem
The fact that most windows headers are missing is OK with you too.
which ones?

Note to all (not specifically to Jacob): Jacob has a tendency to
exagerate, and the regs never miss a chance to pounce on him for it.
But he is basically right here
no he isn't
- the underlying concept being that
trying to develop for Windows using a Unixy compiler is (as I've also
noted in a parallel thread) asking for pain.
not really. I'm not sure why MingW is a "unix compiler"
I've used both Cygwin and
Mingw on several occasions to compile Unix specific code (Cygwin) and/or
what Jacob snidely calls "simple console apps" and both tools do indeed
work well. Both tools are also able to create Windows GUI apps and
nobody seriously thinks otherwise. In fact, I think that the Windows
GVIM (VI like editor) is/can be compiled with Mingw, but the point still
remains that if you are developing specifically for Windows, you should
use a Windows oriented compiler/IDE (such as lcc-win32...).
why?
Oh, and if you do want to use a "windows compiler" also consider
Microsoft's Visual C++ Express. It *is* (or can be made to be)
a C compiler and it's free.
This is obviously a good regular.
Insults, polemic, and no brains
Well, you've been around for a while - you know what to expect.
You could try at least a little not to give them such easy opportunities.
