Error when trying to compile on Windows

Question

I just downloaded Rust 0.6 and tried to compile the hello world program. However, I get following error when trying to do so:

The procedure entry point "_gxx_personality_v0" was not found in rustrt.dll.

My GCC version is 4.5.2. From what I read on the getting started page Rust is supposed to work with GCC 4.5.* on Windows. My OS is Win8 64 bit.

There's more information about this bug here . This was fixed when Rust added support for mingw-w64 in August 2013. Rust 1.0 and later versions are unaffected.
