The installation is really easy. Begin +with the MSYS auto-installer and once this is done, extract MINGW into +c:\msys\1.0\mingw. You also have to remember to remove the make +utility included with MINGW as it conflicts with the one from MSYS +(just rename or remove c:\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\make.exe). + +http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.7-i686-2002.04.24-1.exe +http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-1.1.tar.gz + +Then you can build the package using: +# ./configure +# make + + +Building using the mingw32 cross-compiler +----------------------------------------- + +You need to install mingw32 first. For Debian GNU/Linux users, there +is a mingw32 package. Otherwise you might get it from the mingw site +at http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml. + +The videolan project also keeps precompiled mingw32 binaries at +http://www.videolan.org/vlc/windows.html . If you install these, +you'll have to set your PATH accordingly to include +/usr/local/cross-tools/bin too. + +The build should then proceed using something like: +# CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc +# make |
