About

If you have trouble with the new http://www.mingw.org you can find the old format at http://www.mingw.org/old.

MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries, augmenting the GNU Compiler Collection, (GCC), and its associated tools, (GNU binutils). MinGW provides a complete Open Source programming tool set which is suitable for the development of native Windows programs that do not depend on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs.
MSYS: A Minimal SYStem providing a POSIX compatible Bourne shell environment, with a small collection of UNIX command line tools. Primarily developed as a means to execute the configure scripts and Makefiles used to build Open Source software, but also useful as a general purpose command line interface to replace Windows cmd.exe.
Mailing Lists: We have several mailing lists which you are encouraged to join, and in which you are invited to participate. There is a general discussion list, mingw-users@lists.sf.net for general MinGW questions, and a general discussion list, mingw-msys@lists.sf.net for questions more related to MSYS and to using the Minimal SYStem. Information for signup and links to the archives can be found by clicking here. You may search the archives using the "Search the archives" form found on the left side of every http://www.mingw.org page.

64bit gcc walkthrough?

Posted July 24th, 2008 by ezod52

I'm to build 64bit apps on WindowsXP 64. I found some random forum posts through google from 2007 that sounded like people building 64bit using MinGW. But the findings were a little sparse and a year ago is a long time. How far along is the 64bit support under MinGW's gcc implementation? Is there a walkthrough for how to get going with it?

Thanks a lot!

Compile problems with cygwin and minGW

Posted July 22nd, 2008 by fad

I try to build my custom dll that use Festival TTS libs (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/). The custom dll export some functions that I will use with C# .NET

When I compile my cc files under cygwin with this command line: g++ -c festivalDll.cc -o festivalDll.o -L. -lfestival -lestools -lestbase -leststring -ltermcap -lwinmm -I../src/include/ -I../../speech_tools/include/ -I ./ -mno-cygwin -I./mingw/include -L./mingw/lib/

I have many errors like: undefine reference to '_getservbyname' undefine reference to '_shutdown' and more..
