msys + mingw on usb?

Hi there,

Lately I look into having portable gpp compiler on my usb.
So I was wondering if msys+mingw's gpp, when run from usb, performs any writings to it? If so how would it be possible to path it elsewhere - like a temp folder on hdd?

Thanks,
ronh

Don't really get your question but,

It is possible to have MSYS and MinGW installed on your stick. I'd suggest the automated installers found on the apache wiki for Msys and MinGW installation (just google "apache wiki msys"). It will guide you through the entire process but make sure you adjust the entry for your MinGW directory in X:\PortableApps\Mysy\etc\fstab (or atleast thats where I put mine).

It would be great though if it could be automated using scripts in exe or batch file.
