question about g++ errors when compiling

[dugh]

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm trying to compile jinput from cvs, in case I need to add some things for my own app.
I 'm getting errors with a couple of the switch-case statements in the directx plugin input.cpp file, and wasn't sure if I needed to change something with my g++ or what.  I installed mingw 5.0.2 on windows xp, and I'm using the latest directx sdk (feb 2006).

Also I didn't know if you would want to include jutils.jar in the cvs repository or not since jinput depends on it.

Great work on jinput though!

compile:

What version of mingw and g++ are people using?
I have mingw 5.0.2 and g++ 3.4.2

I downgraded and got the same error.
I'm interested in adding a spring force feedback effect to input.cpp  (DICONDITION instead of DICONSTANT).

I guess it was a change with switch statements between gcc 2 and gcc 3.  I have it compiling now.
I see this other version does the directx stuff completely differently, so I'll try that too.

There is a jutils error, it tries to load
net/java/games/input/DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin
It should have replaced the slashes with periods (.).
I guess that requires fixing jutils.
