Subject: "collect2.exe has stopped working"



I have Vista and I'm trying to compile _anything_ with
gcc 3.4.4 All I get is

"collect2.exe has stopped working"


Vista breaks MinGW - and I think that's the issue you're facing here.


Try upgrading to 3.4.5. Then unpack http://dessent.net/tmp/gcc-vista-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz into your MinGW root directory. (That will overwrite the existing "problem" files.)

I don't know that it's necessary to do the upgrade - but, since the patched files in the (above) tarball have been built for 3.4.5, it's probably the safest way to approach the problem.

Cheers,
Rob
