The problem you described doesn't sound like a real problem to me. You should get the Q../Free developers interested. Since they put a lot of effort into creating the build scripts for non-g++ builds, I'm sure they will be interested in getting things to work with the free MSVC compiler. > I know that an MSVC program can call a C compiled MinGW DLL, but what > about C++?

Right. The MinGW linker is a resource hog. Angus
