well thats not completely accurate.<br>

GCC is the name of the gnu compiler collection, but it is also the
name of the frontend or shell<br>
program which calls its necessary components like the compiler or
linker. This means that it<br>
is possible to compile and link an ADMB program without ever
mentioning g++ or ld.<br>

<div>We currently have a confusing mix of terms to describe some
of the compiler options for ADMB: "MinGW", "GCC", and "g++".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's my understanding of the meaning of these terms:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>GCC currently refers to the Gnu Compiler Collection
(formerly to the GNU C Compiler).</li>
<li>g++ is one of the compilers in GCC (the one that gets used
for ADMB)</li>
<li>MinGW is the Windows port of GCC</li>
</ul>
<div>Is it necessary to use all three terms?</div>
</div>
<div>I'm trying to update Johnoel's old installation instructions
to match the README file and would like to have things be
throughout the ADMB project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
