Hi Keith,


I am experiencing the same problem as OP. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06.2 with
mingw32 installed as a cross compiler. I installed it with "apt-get install
mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime". For me as well the executable
name shows up as "i586-mingw32msvc-gcc" instead of "i586-mingw32-gcc".

After it was installed, my bin looks like this:

tgs@tgs-desktop:~/test$ ls /usr/bin/ | grep i586
i586-mingw32msvc-addr2line
i586-mingw32msvc-ar
i586-mingw32msvc-as
i586-mingw32msvc-c++
i586-mingw32msvc-cc
i586-mingw32msvc-c++filt
i586-mingw32msvc-cpp
i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool
i586-mingw32msvc-dllwrap
i586-mingw32msvc-g++
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc-3.4.4
i586-mingw32msvc-gccbug
i586-mingw32msvc-gcov
i586-mingw32msvc-ld
i586-mingw32msvc-nm
i586-mingw32msvc-objcopy
i586-mingw32msvc-objdump
i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib
i586-mingw32msvc-readelf
i586-mingw32msvc-size
i586-mingw32msvc-strings
i586-mingw32msvc-strip
i586-mingw32msvc-windres

I wrote the following simple program to test whether compilation works:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
return 0;
}

When I try compiling it, however, I get the following (same as the output
from OP's configuration script):

tgs@tgs-desktop:~/test$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc simpletest.c -o simpletest.exe

Do you have any idea what's going on?
