==================================================================================

i've searched for the last 5 hours and i end up with nothing, whenever i drop some files from the SF mingw to the Mingw.org's mingw folder, everything starts to fail, please help! all i wanted in the first place was to get C++11 which i heard was supported in MinGW 4.8.

thank you.
