 If that works, it would be an improvement.
One problem with it is that it's not guaranteed that the C compiler is called 'gcc'. With the mingw64 compiler that I use it's called 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc' - and  gcc -dumpversion would simply return something like 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I guess, however, there might also be a way to cater for that possibility.

Rob

    FWIW the actual compiler name is supposed to be in $(CC), CCTYPE is configuration variable
    Read more... ack \bCC\b makefile.mk (680 Bytes)
    I now prefer this.

      Could that be modified so that only the dll files get copied ? And would that work just as well ? (Or have I missed something ? I'll give it a try myself when I get a chance.)

      Copying the entire bin directory seems a bit heavy-handed to me.

        Doh, yup , that should be 
        .IF "$(CCTYPE)" == "GCC"
    $(XCOPY) $(CCHOME)\bin\*dll ..\t\$(NULL)
.ENDIF

        I've tested this and it works

        I'm tempted to rewrite this using Daiku, but i'm not fluent in make :)
