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 ?
