gcc TR1 support under Windows 2000?

I'm interested in experimenting with the TR1 functionality in g++ (per
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/ext/tr1.html). My understanding
is that this is part of libstd++ only as of g++ 4. I'm currently using
a MinGW port that contains g++ 3.4.2, and there does not appear to be
any TR1 functionality in the version of libstdc++ that ships with that
release.

Ideally, I'd like to upgrade to g++ 4 on Windows 2000, but I'd prefer to
use a prebuilt binary, and the current MinGW port seems to include only
gcc 3.4.x (per http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml), while Cygwin seems
to include 3.3.3 or 3.4.4 (per
http://sourceware.org/cygwin/packages/gcc-g++/ from
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/packages/).

I have two questions:

- Is there a prebuilt version of gcc 4 for Windows (along with
instructions on how to install it) available somewhere? Googling both
web pages and newsgroup postings failed to turn anything up in this
regard.

- Failing that, is there a way to download a version of libstdc++
containing TR1 support and use that with my existing gcc 3.4.2 MinGW
installation?

In general, I welcome all suggestions on how to experiment with gcc
support for TR1 under Windows 2000.

Thanks,

Scott

The two versions of gcc available for Windows are minGW (which I, like
you, use) and Cygwin. Neither of them has pre-built binaries yet for
gcc 4.
- Failing that, is there a way to download a version of libstdc++
containing TR1 support and use that with my existing gcc 3.4.2 MinGW
installation?

Your best bet: Download DJGPP from www.delorie.com. Yes, it's old
school, and it lacks the Windows headers, but it will run in a Windows
DOS box, which is probably the way you use minGW anyway. DJGPP
upgraded to gcc 4.10 some time ago.

One alternative, of course, is to dual-install Linux on your Windows
system. But if you were interested in experimenting on Linux, you
would have said so.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

Tom

Thanks,
There exists a few, and can be built.
I know a few links like
1) http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm
has a GCC 4.0.2 (i.e with old ABI ) , they also gives how to compile
GCC for Windows.
2) http://javacompiler.mtsystems.ch/index.html
Though they mainly aim GCJ, but they do provide all of GCC, WIndows &
linux version. 4.2

However, none of them are MinGW port (they are GCC compiled for Windows
) , and thus misses all of the Windows tool-chain (like the resource
compilers etc) & headers. To check TR1, I think they will be perfectly
fine. They are not suitable for Windows development (I am not sure
whether they can work with MinGW runtime or not)
Thanks.

I ultimately ended up building gcc 4. Details are available at
