The details requested by fudadmin:
I've downloaded the bundle UPP+MinGW ver. 602 and installed it, since I'm trying to (slowly...) move away from Borland Builder.
First step, to me, would be to have re-built the *.lib files I was using previously with the other compiler and manage them like any other *.a files in the distribution.
I could not find the way to do that from inside TheIDE.
Since my knowledge on gcc and bintools usage are limited, I would prefer to do that from inside IDE (i.e. the way to do the things I got used with, plus laziness ...).
So, how do I use TheIDE and MinGW to build my *.a files ?

1. Why "trying (slowly...)"? Smile

If you read our forums, people here start writing tutorials after 1 month with U++...
2. Why MingW? MS Express toolkit and SDK compile faster and are "native" for Win GUI, IMO...
3. If you still have problems, post one set of your "going-to-be -lib" files here (zipped) and I'll make an example for you.
