Installation 1. Unpack the software Create a directory of your choice to install the software. I shall assume `C:\MINGW32' but another location should be fine. Just make sure there are no spaces in the name, e.g. not `C:\Program Files\mingw32'. GCC seems to dislike spaces. From this directory, unzip the packages. Make sure you have an `unzip' utility that understands long filenames. 2. Configuration Copy the mingw32.bat file to a directory of your choice, e.g. in the above created one. Update the following line in the file mingw32.bat, set MINGW32_BASE= with the path of your choosen directory for mingw32, e.g. set MINGW32_BASE=C:\MINGW32 Start a command shell (command.com,cmd.exe,..), and execute mingw32.bat. Now you are ready to run mingw32-tools from this shell. 3. Remarks The BURG-Front-End (bfe.exe) requires awk.exe from mingw32-tools! For more information about mingw32-tools, look at .
