Hello Gentleman,
Just out of curiosity... regarding the new MingW-tools. What exactly is the difference to the old ones? What is their purpose and what are they doing better?
If somebody can explain this, that would be great.
Thanks for listening, u-man

They're newer and support newer C++ language features, they support more CPUs in -march=native if you do that sort of thing, and there are uncofirmed reports that a few drivers are substantially faster with them.
Also the new toolchain reportedly runs without incident on XP, which wasn't true of the previous one.

ok... thanks for the info. I couldnt compile successfully on windows7 64bit either, but it is fixed now  .
The only difference I saw, was a nearly 10MB smaller MAME.exe  .
thank you, u-man
