# MinGW Builds [![x86_64 and i686 release builds](https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/actions/workflows/build_cmake.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/actions/workflows/build_cmake.yml)



The scripts provided by the MinGW-Builds project[1] are designed

for building the dual-target(i686/x86_64) MinGW-W64 compiler for i686/x86_64 hosts.



The scripts are distributed under the 'BSD 3' license[2].



In order to use the scripts provided by the MinGW-W64 project it is needed:



1. Windows-64bit or Linux + Wine-64bit



2. Install MSYS2 from:

  `http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/`

  (MSYS2 wiki: https://www.msys2.org/wiki/MSYS2-installation/)



3. Get the scripts into `/home//mingw-builds`:

  `cd && git clone `



4. In the MSYS2 file structure delete or rename the `/mingw32` and `/mingw64` directory.



5. Delete the paths pointing to any preinstalled MinGW from the `PATH`

  environment variable.



6. Go into the MinGW-builds root directory:

  `cd && cd mingw-builds`



7. Options:

```

  --mode=[gcc|python|clang]- - what package to build with version.

  --arch=                - build architecture.

  --buildroot=                  - using '' as build directory.

                                        By default used MSYS user home directory.

  --fetch-only                        - only download all the sources without start building.

  --update-sources                    - try to update sources from repositories before build.

  --exceptions=                - exceptions handling model.

                                        Available: dwarf, seh(gcc>=4.8.0 only), sjlj, dwarfseh (picks by architecture).

  --use-lto                           - building with using LTO.

  --no-strip                          - don't strip executables during install.

  --no-multilib                       - build GCC without multilib support (default for DWARF and SEH exception models).

  --static-gcc                        - build static GCC.

  --dyn-deps                          - build GCC with dynamically dependencies.

  --rt-version=              - version of mingw-w64 runtime to build.

  --rev=N                             - number of the build revision.

  --with-testsuite                    - run testsuite for packages that contain flags for it.

  --threads=             - used threads model.

  --enable-languages=          - comma separated list(without spaces) of gcc supported languages.

                                        available languages: ada,c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++

  --with-default-win32-winnt=    - default windows version the toolchain will target

```

  For more options run: "./build --help"



8. Run:

*  `./build --mode=gcc-4.8.1 --arch=i686` for building i686-MinGW-w64

*  `./build --mode=gcc-4.8.1 --arch=x86_64` for building x86_64-MinGW-w64

*  `./build --mode=gcc-4.8.1 --arch=x86_64 --preload` for preload sources and building x86_64-MinGW-w64

*  `./build --mode=gcc-4.8.1 --arch=i686 --exceptions=dwarf` for building i686-MinGW-w64 with DWARF exception handling



For example, during the process of building of the i686-gcc-4.7.2 will

  be created the following directories:

```

  /i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/build

  /i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/libs

  /i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/logs

  /i686-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/prefix

```



For x86_64:

```

  /x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/build

  /x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/libs

  /x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/logs

  /x86_64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev1/prefix

```



And the sources directory:

  `/src`



The archives with the built MinGW will be created in `/archives/`
