[Mapserver-users] MapServer 3.7 / Win32 / GD2

[Jan Hartmann]

That's something I have been wanting to ask for some time. Can you use 
MingW32 as a complete replacement for VC++ (at least for MapServer and 
dependancies)? Are the executables independent from any Unix emulation, 
and are they as fast as VC-compiled stuff? That would really speed up 
development on Windows.
