I think we should only the latest stable Mingw release is. When Filip
and I have done porting work on WINE and the w32api I have always tried
to leave any of my changes as disabled untill the latest w32api
release. I am always sending minor patches to mingw for the w32api and
the ReactOS developer shouldnt have to keep up with those. Any code
that goes in to the development or release trunck should always be able
to be built with the latest stable releases or it should be disabled.
That being said I think on a per driver/dll or per application basis we
can support MS_VC with the PSDK. Some of our drivers, ntoskrnl and
other misc stuff wont build on other compilers due to gccisms. We
really should attempt to get all drivers/dlls/apps to build and work on
WinNT/2K though using MS_VC.
Thanks

With that said, I propose that we go the Microsoft
route, but provide
instructions for people that want to experiment with other stuff. We
should have an official version of the compiler, linker, binutils,
etc,
and an official w32api version. If anybody has time, it'd be nice to
package the ReactOS SDK/DDK with the tools, headers, libs, and so on,
so
that new developers can come up to speed more quickly.
So, what does everyone else think?
