I did a clean install of Windows and I don't feel like installing the huge Visual Studio just for Skylark.

Mingw is much much more compact.

Thanks

You do not need Visual Studion. Just install Windows SDK...

OK, my official stance on Mingw:

gcc is a good compiler, but I do not see much sense in using mingw in Win32, when Microsoft compiler is free, compiles faster, result is half in size and about as good in speed and when MSC++ is much better integrated with Windows.

Supporting mingw takes too much time for me, because it has a lot of win32 integration problems. Thus: I am not deleting "COMPILER_MINGW" from U++ sources, but I am not going to actively fix any issues w.r.t. Mingw myself. I am however willing to apply any patches submitted.

Hmm... I thought the required effort for Mingw was about the same as GCC on Linux.

BTW, which components do I need to select on the Windows SDK installer to get a MINIMUM environment for U++? (like no .NET crap)

If you install U++ in Win32, you even get a nice screenshot during installation process showing what to select.
