To follow up from the RT ticket...

adamk, I'm not quite sure how the points you raised fit into the scheme of things. From nobull's original post:

makepl_arg => q[LIBS=-LC:\\strawberry\\c\\lib INC=-IC:\\strawberry\\c\
+\include<c>],

[download]
I don't see how such a line of code can ever contribute anything useful. By my understanding, the MinGW compiler itself is the only thing that will ever make use of that information - and it already knows about those locations and searches them by default.

If the information cannot "ever contribute anything useful" then I think it should be removed, as nobull has suggested.

nobull, as regards the setting of LIB and INCLUDE environment variables (raised in the rt ticket), Strawberry definitely *used* to set those variables, though they served no purpose (as adamk indicated).

Cheers,
Rob
