Windows Build Env upgrade to GNU ARM Tools V4.8?

Hi PB

I normally build and test for Devo8 only but have a few Devo7e in my circle that need to get updated as well, so I would like to build for the 7e with all the features enabled and patched for the various added switches.

Are you perhps working on an upgrade to the Windows environment or is it worthwhile to (try and) update Windows Mingw environment to the latest V4.8 compiler/lib as well? Can you assist with guidelines or the best process?

I am not a Linux fundi, so any assistance will be appreciated.

Quite simple to update toolchain:)Install this HERE , remembering at the end of install too check 'add to paths' Then logout of windows, open minGW type arm-none-eabi-gcc -v and you'll see

Then you'll edit file in listed in this thread

edit: you can type 'arm-none-eabi-gcc -v' at command prompt as well
