Final Windows binaries will soon be available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/windows-host/4.7.1/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/windows-ho... (Prerelease binaries already available) I post this link because it took me a long time to find quality Windows builds of GCC. There are many places which offer GCC for Windows, but most of the builds have problems. These ones are the best IMHO. Project Description from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/ Snapshots and releases builds of the MinGW compiler that use CRT & WinAPI from the mingw-w64 project. Builds support the following features: - OpenMP - LTO - Graphite - std Concurrency - Native TLS Callbacks - Wide-Character Startup (-municode) - 32-bit and 64-bit Windows - Multilib toolchains - Cross-compiling from x86_64 for i686 and vice versa.

  That looks nice, thanks! I use stl's mingw collection[1] because of the bundled libraries, but this looks more intersting. [1] http://nuwen.net/mingw.html http://nuwen.net/mingw.html

  I tend to grab MinGW from http://nuwen.net/mingw.html http://nuwen.net/mingw.html Have you looked at that yet?

  My favorite MinGW build is at http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran. It hasn't been updated yet but will probably be over the weekend.

  Indeed, I was wondering why this was on the front page. It's just a point release. If you want to try gcc 4.7, just install Fedora 17.

  It doesn't even have release notes yet. Can't be that big a change from 4.7.0.

Wow, lots of progress with C++11 support. http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html

Helpfully, the changes page for 4.7.1 points at 4.7 changes, which confused me for a minute because I was sure I had read these before...
