With Codeblocks on Linux would be very nice, too...

Probably but, here, the problem is on Windows.

On Windows I think you need the devellopment versions as well as the "real" versions of that libs (quite a lot, I think) to compile with Gcc, while VC++ works with the static libs. Cygwin might work as it uses many Linux-specific libs, but MinGw won't without a painful amount of modifications .

If I understood well what I read, MinGw is a Windows port of GCC and theorically, if two version are needed on Windows, there are also two needed versions on Linux (and it doesn't to be the case on Linux).

What you call a painful amount of modifications seems to be simply adding and install libraries that have the missing functions. When we'll know what are these missing libraries, add them and, if neededb explain how to uses them will be easy.

I myself think there is no need to use Gcc on Windows, because VC++ is a Microsoft tool and Microsoft still knows best how to deal with Windows code and apps (I hope).

VC++ refers to an IDE and a compiler that are both Microsoft tools, and I don't know if they are gratis or not but they aren't free software. Use it to develop free software is disapproved by various developpers, especially if a free alternative exists. Try to force the use of VC++ for ACR compiling is insanely absurd.

I don't have VC++ and I have a fucking slow internet connection, so please could anyone with VC++ installed compile (for Win/32) and upload it here??

I remember, a long time ago, I downloaded and installed VC++ on my computer but I uninstalled it later.

I remember how hard was that download... and my connexion wasn't as bad as today. It's an other reason to make possible compiling with CodeBlocks and MinGW, even on Windows.
