Hi Dirk,

taking a look at the FAQ and trying to set the PATH directly was 
actually one of the first things I've tried. And seeing it didn't work 
anyway and that the PATH was correct in the dumped environment (which I 
failed to add to my post), I removed that again since I though it wasn't 
necessary (and it wasn't).

The real problem was not writing env.Program() though! Sometimes you 
don't see the forest for the trees...

It works fine now using

env = Environment(tools=[])
env.Tool('mingw')
env.Program('hello.cpp')

Thank you very much!

Andreas
