Hello, The question I have and want to discuss is the target name of the x86_64 mingw support. I named it in binutils "x86_64-pc-mingw64", but of course there could be plenty of reasons to rename it just as "x86_64-pc-mingw". I did it for the reason of a different library folder and a different header API needed for this target. In my opinion it seems more wise to use a "mingw64" as OS suffix instead of just "mingw". But of course I am more interested in your opion. What do you think ? Regards, i.A. Kai Tietz |

While I think it is a doublication I personally prefer mingw64. =46WIW for the crosscompiler I create I currently use mingw32 as OS name and thus consider mingw64 the canonical name for a 64bit version.

The rest of the string is just meaningless to most of us and really causes confusion to those who don't know what it really means.

I want to forward the mailing of Ben Elliston, for your notice. Regards, i.A. Kai Tietz Ben Elliston wrote: What do the MinGW folks think about "mingw64"? I've had discussions with them in the past, but I can't remember the outcome. In general, it seems much cleaner to have the machine identify that the system is 64-bit, rather than the OS. Do you agree? Then, we could stick with just "mingw". ... I am not too fussy, really, but it would be nice to limit the proliferation of unnecessary OS names. |
