Running new consumer...

is there a way to pick a certain compiler while running the bin file?
i usually usei686-w64-mingw32-g++ to compile c/c++ codes

Thanks

Your problem is not about you using the wrong compiler. You forgot to specify an include location for the windows.h header. Hint: -I/path/to/sdk
