This is for those who needs a quicker way to install a working package, save a little time to download/config the MinGW thingy.

WARNGING:
This is quickly whacked together, for Vista users, you need to make necessary change in the source package and compile it yourself.

What I did:
1.Download the MinGW 5.1.3 installer, install it with necessary tools(base and g++)
2.Copy the file directory, make a quick project folder , use HM NIS Editor to make a quick project.
http://hmne.sourceforge.net/
(I deleted a few file just to make the directory cleaner, you can add it back)
3.A few modification, then package it with NSIS
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

The result package is about 7MB, tested to compile BlitzMax mods correctly(under WinXP SP2), it'll automatically add the environment variable to system you you don't need to config it manually.

Still needs work, the source project is self-contained, directly compilable, but I didn't do necessary modification for Vista(my machine is XP SP2)

Here's the Package:

Here's the Source:

Updated Source with a little additions:

This is just made on a dirty-and-quick basis, if you can improve it, please help.

Using official installer is recommended, however this shouldn't interfere your MinGW as what the installer does is just to
unpack the files and add up the Environment Variables.
