    Anyone give crystal clear explanaion on the difference between /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin and /mingw64/bin, why sometimes must use /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin over /mingw64/bin. Are both exactly what is meant by "chaintool" ?

      Hello Budi,

      this question is raised frequently. And the answer is always the same.
      Don't use '/mingw-w64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin directory. It has to
      remain unmodified, and it is absolute necessary. The directory to be
      used is '/mingw-w64/bin' instead. Here are living the user tools.

      What a chaintool means is unclear to me too. But I guess you meant
      'toolchain'. Later is the common name of a compiler environment and
      its different applications (assembler, linker, c-compiler,
      c++-compiler, ....)

      Hope this helps,
      Kai

        Thanks a lot

        this is what I went into:

        • found out Wimlib, load the binary release
        • curious to build myself, load its source
        • read instruction for mingw, says - preceding 'make' command:

          ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32

        • go on with confusion on mind what the parameter means

        • surprised by the too long time it took to finish
        • 100% successful in creating binary with a bit newer version than the 1st
        • can't stand to the para so seek afte the hellpful answer

        then meet your answer.. but I'm sorry it's toolchain, your right
