While working on something else with Code::Blocks, I've found some strange incompatibilities between the latest release of C::B (8.02) and some of our machines.
On our Toshiba L350 laptops, with a clean & fresh install of winXP SP2, the compilation of a simple "hello world" took ages ! So I decided to check if our Raydium SDK (release 904) was also concerned by this issue ... and I'm afraid that the case: compilation of raydium.dll takes almost 2 minutes to complete, and a simple application like anim.c requires something like 1 minute of waiting

Launching "gcc" itself, without any arguments takes 10 seconds.
I managed to fix the trouble by replacing the "MinGW" subdirectory with a newer release of MinGW (can't remember the release number, but GCC is "3.4.5 mingw vista special r3", the release in the SDK miss the "r3" part). Note that it seems that rayfwh.h is no more needed with this release of MinGW.
Do you think is possible/interesting to apply this "fix" to our SDK ? It would help me a lot, since I'll probably have to use the SDK on many computers quite soon

(and it could be a good "advert" for the engine if the vanilla official SDK can do the job)
