Yeah, it certainly worked. Now I have a lot of other compile errors, but they seem fixable. Thanks a bunch!

Im only guessing here, but my guess is this, when using the define you incur one extra level of indirection when using multithreaded
versions of the library, that would mean a slight performance loss
but actually neglibile if you take into account the time actually
spent waiting for or lockin mutexes. But the really wierd part
and what really baffles me is that the've actually made the STL
threadsafe, that should actuallbe be the clients problem to
be portable so it actually seems like the GNU variant tries
to bind people to using their implementaiotn through a quit bad
practice (do note that it's not probhibitated by the standrad) although
it's still standard confromant.

Im guessing that you're porting from MSVC6 then you'll have
a slew of scooping bugs, one fix for MSVC is this:
#define for if(1)for
that forces it at least use correct scooping for for-loops.

Slightly safer (as a hack to make MSVC's for loops more standard) is:
| Code: | | #define for if(0) ; else for |
(otherwise you can end up with 'else' statements binding to the 'if' inside the macro, which is bad!)

Thanks for the suggestions, although I was aware of that problem and always declare variables before using them in a for loop. Most of the other errors where because of libraries not installed for MingW (AllegroOGG and Lua for example) and compiling with gcc instead of g++ (somehow this has worked in the past but not anymore). I have this fixed now and it's compiling splendidly.
