Compiling using MingGW-w64 for both 32-bit and 64-bit
1. Installing Minimalist GNU for Windows-w64 (MinGW-w64)
The objective will be to try to use the MingGW-w64 toolchain instead of the standard MingW since it has support for both 32-bit and 64-bit compiling. Note: We are not successful yet, but just writing down our steps as we go along.
Details of the prefixes of files can be found at What to download
MingW-w64 site is http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net
- If you are on 64-bit Windows download one of the binary packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Automated%20Builds/ with name
starting with mingw-w64-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_
- If you are on 32-bit Windows download one of the binary packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Automated%20Builds/ with name starting with
mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_
- Extract your respective zip into a folder called C:\mingw_w64
- Add c:\mingw_w64\bin to your windows environment path variable
2. Installing Msys
MSys is 32-bit but you can use it with your 32-bit or 64-bit mingw-w64. Instructions are here mingw-w64 with MSYS and repeated here for completeness
sh /postinstall/pi.sh
When prompted type in C:/mingw_64/mingw Once done, type logout and the console should exit.
3. Installing Autoconf, Automake and Libtool
Relaunch C:\mysy\msys.bat
Verify which versions of these you have with
autoconf --version etc.
If they are not newer (or you get not found) than below then download and install. Download the source code from the GNU site and save to c:\projects
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.65.tar.gz
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.tar.gz
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.tar.xz
cd /c/projects tar -xvf autoconf-2.65.tar.gz cd autoconf-2.65 ./configure --build=i686-w64-mingw32 --host=i686-w64-mingw32 (if you are building for 64-bit then use --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32) make && make install autoconf --version
repeat same exercise for automake
For libtool
cd /c/projects tar -xvf libtool-2.4.10.tar.gz cd libtool-2.2.10 ./configure --build=i686-w64-mingw32 --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --target=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared #if you are building for 64-bit then use --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 for the build,host,target make clean && make && make install libtool --version
