Here's my experience (or the first part of it) on Windows 7 64bit: - The file mingw-gretl... is always re-downloaded at every attempt, not cached. That's not too bad because it isn't very large. - Apart from a thorough overhaul and update of the MSYS/MinGW installation I had to add the following packages --apparently not included in pkglist.txt-- in order to get rid of a "no suitable compiler found" message: [pacman -S --needed ....] base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-fftw mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtksourceview2 (because per default gtk3 is there but not gtk2)
