Re: [Inkscape-devel] Cannot build Inkscape with newest Mingw, devlibs36
Did you try the gcc 4.7 with the sjlj stack from TDM?

Except that has never been the case in my experience. I have always used
the mingw from
sourceforge and it has worked fine. (Well, except until the Mingw upgrade
that brought
in the 4.7.2 compiler.) In build.xml there is a reference to an
ligcc_s_sjlj-1.dll.
Other than linking to that dll, how else does the compiler know what type of
exception
handling to use, compiler or switch maybe?
Is it maybe the case that gcc 4.7.2 for windows finally changed from sjlj to
dw2
exception handling and that is what is breaking things?
