Hi Jenny,
Are you sure that you have the correct environment settings?
gcc is what you should use the -mwindows option with.
The PATH _must_have_ the gnuwin32 bin directory first.
The GCC_EXEC_PATH must be set correctly with a trailing \ or /.
The command "gcc -v" will give you the version you are using and
properly test the GCC_EXEC_PATH variable.
You should see:
Reading specs from <path-to-specs>
gcc driver version 2.7-B19 executing gcc version 2.7-97r2aBeta
