I wish that was true. Mingw 32 is at 4.8 and the Mingw 64 project doesn't support Ada _at all_ on Windows.

My primary interest is in pointing people to a 32 and 64 bit build that is up to date for Ada (and of course that the run times have not been GPL virused _ RMS's own term for those hating me for using it!, I love GPL but full GPL doesn't belong on a compiler or OS run time _ever_).

I  wish I had time to also get involved in their projects to convince and assist them to build the gprtools as well or at least create an associated set of gprtools people could download. As is though, I am a bit thin getting Gnoga out this week as 1.0 and the coming business efforts related to Gnoga, updates to AdaPower to come, etc. plus I stopped using Windows close to 10 years ago except for testing Gnoga recently.

Perhaps someone out there would consider creating a set of gprtools (64 and 32bit) to make available to those using Ada on Windows :) I'd be happy to host it on GetAdaNow.com
