MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported. + +I recommend to use the cygwin environment as the development environment +and mingw only as the target (runtime, deployment) environment. +For this, you need to install + - cygwin, + - the mingw runtime package, also from the cygwin site. + +You must not install cygwin programs directly under /usr/local - +because the mingw compiler and linker would pick up the include files +and libraries from there, thus introducing an undesired dependency to +cygwin. You can for example achieve this by using the +configure option --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin each time you build a +program for cygwin. + +Building for mingw is then achieved through the following preparation +and configure commands: + + PATH=/usr/local/mingw/bin:$PATH + export PATH + ./configure --host=i586-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw \ + CPPFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -Wall -I/usr/local/mingw/include" \ + CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \ + CXXFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \ + LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/mingw/lib" + +The -mno-cygwin tells the cygwin compiler and linker to build for mingw. +The -I and -L option are so that packages previously built for the +same environment are found. The --host option tells the various +tools that you are building for mingw, not cygwin. + +Dependencies: + +This package depends on GNU libiconv. (See the file DEPENDENCIES.) Before +building this package, you need to build GNU libiconv, in the same development +environment, with the same configure options, and install it ("make install"). |
