One way around it is to virtualize Windows on a Linux host and mount your MinGW directories as a network drive or shared folder. | One way around it is to virtualize Windows on a Linux host and mount your MinGW directories as a network drive or shared folder. | ||

+ | ===== For Windows developers ===== | ||
+ | Rough list of prerequisites for building with MinGW on Windows | ||
+ | |||
+ | If in doubt whether to get 32 or 64 bit versions use 32 bit ones, they are more | ||
+ | universal and tend to be less broken. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== MinGW compiler ==== | ||
+ | Compiler should match the one that was used to build packages ideally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * We will user *mingw64 rubenvb* release | ||
+ | * Lastest stable release is gcc 4.8.0 | ||
+ | |||

+ | %20Win64/ | ||
+ | win32_rubenvb.7z/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 7zip ==== | ||
+ | We will need 7zip to extract various archives | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Python3 (to extract rpms) ==== | ||
+ | We will need python3 to use download-mingw-rpm.py script. | ||
+ | If you don't plan to use it you can safely skip this step. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We get python3, whatever is the lastes stable release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Install Python and be sure to check "addd python.exe to path" installer checkbox. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== download-mingw-rpm.py ==== | ||
+ | We get download-mingw-rpm.py script from github. It uses Python3 and should fetch and | ||
+ | unpack rpm files for us. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | mingw-rpm.py|View Script]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | mingw-rpm.py|Download Script]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Usage: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Launch cmd.exe | ||
+ | * Navigate to folder where the script was saved | ||
+ | * Make sure that python can access 7z.exe | ||
+ | * Run command and wait, it should extract the packages into your current directory | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | /m/|Fedora 18 packages]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | The above URL for some reason does not work with the script. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== MSYS ==== | ||
+ | Msys contains shell and some small utilities | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | %20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== CMake ==== | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | When installing check the installer checkbox "add to path" | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Bazaar ==== | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will get 2.4 Stable Release (standalone) | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | When installing check the installer checkbox "add to path" | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Vala ==== | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Globbing it all together ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Extracted rpms msys and mingw packages should form uniform unix like folder. | ||
+ | You use msys.bat to launch a shell | ||
