Now that the code was building and working on Linux, it was time to setup the Windows XP virtual machine for building. On the previously Windows XP installation, MinGW (with GCC 3.4.6) and MSYS (1.0.11) were installed with a number of packages installed later (like GCC 4.4.0). It was a very hacked together setup in attempt to make things work right.
This time around, the Automated MinGW Installer was used. The current 2011-05-30 version was used, which contains the latest versions of MSYS, MinGW and all the other utilities. The latest version can be obtained here. When installing this package (which actually downloads all the latest versions before installation), both the MSYS and MinGW options were selected. The version of GCC installed was 4.5.2.
Moving the project software back over to Windows, the build succeeded. Turns out the awk scripts still work in Windows. There was also no warning about the gets() function. This may be because the version implemented with MinGW contains more features, which were mentioned back on June 15, 2010 and are not implemented in the Linux version.
