Don't know where the instructions are but you can grab: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Automated%20Builds/mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20091025.zip/download then unpack it to the location of your choice and add the top level bin folder to your path. Keep an eye on http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ for updates. With this particular distro the gcc, g++ etc executables all have their names prefixed with 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-'. It's also a fairly large download. There's a trimmed down mingw64 (no gfortran, java) available from http://svn.ali.as/cpan/users/kmx/strawberry_gcc-toolchain/ (currently http://svn.ali.as/cpan/users/kmx/strawberry_gcc-toolchain/mingw64-w64-20091026.7z ) . With this build you just invoke the executables as 'gcc', 'g++', etc - as per normal. Again, just extract the file to the location of your choice and add the bin folder to your path. Cheers, Rob |

You should use a POSIX environment, so using of our toolchain is much easier. There is cygwin and msys shell. One of them should fit your needs. We provide toolchains for targeting 32-bit and 64-bit. For installation see here https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Installation%20of%20binary%20toolchain%20packages page on our Wiki. If you want to compile your toolchain by yourself, then follow the instructions to be found at https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler and https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Native%20Win64%20compiler . If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask here on ML, or on our IRC channel. Cheers, Kai -- | (\_/) This is Bunny.

Hello, Kai and Sysiphus: Thanks very much for the replies. I've downloaded and unzipped "mingw-w64-src_4.4.1-1.tar.bz2", but I can not find "the top level bin folder" to add to my path. The unzip process produced folders binutils, gcc, mingw, and src, and I can't see a bin folder under any of those. What should I do next? I've looked at the instructions for compiling the toolchain per "https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler", but I suspect I'm missing some of the "Requirements", e.g., Bison, Flex, gperf, Coreutils, Make, GMP 4.3.1 or newer, and MPFR 2.4.1 or newer. Thanks for any further assistance you can offer.

Get the -bin archive. |

That means its the source code tarball. What you need is the binary tarball which will have "-bin" in the file name.

Thanks. From where can I download a "-bin" version of MinGW_w64? From my understanding of "http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite", the "Automated (GUI) Installer" works only for the 32-bit version, and I have so far failed to find a source for the 64-bit version. As I noted previously, I've looked at the instructions for compiling the toolchain per "https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler", but I suspect I'm missing some of the "Requirements", e.g., Bison, Flex, gperf, Coreutils, Make, GMP 4.3.1 or newer, and MPFR 2.4.1 or newer. Any further suggestions?

From where can I download a "-bin" version of MinGW_w64? Go to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ Expand "Toolchains targetting Win64". Then expand "Automated Builds" and look for the link to mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20091031.zip . If that doesn't work, try this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Automated%20Builds/mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20091031.zip/download Cheers, Rob |
