mingw-w64-build is a Bash script for downloading and building the mingw-w64 toolchain.
- Linux, macOS/Darwin, or similar
- Development environment, e.g. autotools, gcc/clang, Xcode
Copy mingw-w64-build
to a directory in your PATH
such as /usr/local/bin
and make it executable.
The basic syntax is:
mingw-w64-build [-f | --force] [-j # | --jobs #] [--disable-gdb] target [install-dir]
Where:
-f, --force
remove and replace existing target (overwrite)-j, --jobs
number of concurrent build jobs to run, default: 0 (automatic)--disable-gdb
disable building GDB debugger
Available targets:
i686
i686.clean
i686.distclean
x86_64
x86_64.clean
x86_64.distclean
pkgclean
Default installation directory is ~/toolchains/mingw-w64-<version>-gcc-<gcc_version>
.
Example: build both i686
and x86_64
targets, then remove source and build files and downloaded packages, leaving only the output.
mingw-w64-build i686 && mingw-w64-build x86_64
mingw-w64-build i686.clean && mingw-w64-build x86_64.clean
mingw-w64-build pkgclean
Following successful building of each toolchain, the script provides instructions for adding the output binaries directory to your PATH
.
To remove the output and start over:
mingw-w64-build i686.distclean && mingw-w64-build x86_64.distclean
