[PKGBUILD REQUEST] mingw-w64 compiler

skodabenz · 2010-07-07 10:45:25

The mingw.org compiler does not support compiling x86_64 Windows binaries. mingw-w64 (http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/)
supports creating win64 binaries. I downloaded the Automated Build binary package for Linux-x86_64 host from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ but I do not know how to compile from source.

Can anyone create a PKGBUILD for mingw-w64 for Arch64. Thanks in advance.

Is there anybody who uses a PKGBUILD locally in their system? Why no reply?

I've given it a try since I am in need for such a package too, but I haven't succeeded in building all parts of the package. Maybe I'll have some more time during next week, but I'm not going to make any promises.

I finally got it working using the scripts provided by http://code.google.com/p/mingw-w64-dgn/. I produced a PKGBUILD for it, if someone's interested. I'm not sure whether it works for x86, and the dependencies may be incorrect, though.

PKGBUILD:

I created a PKGBUILD based on the Automated builds at mingw-w64 sourceforge downloads site - mingw-w64-bin http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43761

In the off chance anyone's still interested, I'm trying to submit proper PKGBUILD files to the AUR, in the hope they will be useful and could perhaps replace (or in a first step, complement) the mingw.org cross-compiler in the [community] someday.
They will be (still in the process of refining the packages and PKGBUILDS right now, I'm almost there ):
mingw-w64-headers
mingw-w64-crt
mingw-w64-binutils
mingw-w64-gcc-base
mingw-w64-gcc
mingw-w64-winpthreads

and will contain everything needed for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows cross-compilation.

OK, I have uploaded first (hopefully usable) versions of my PKGBUILDS:
I'll post them in the order you'll need to build+install them:

mingw-w64-headers-nowinpthreads: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53892
mingw-w64-binutils: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53893
mingw-w64-gcc-base: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53925
mingw-w64-headers: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53892
mingw-w64-crt: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53924
mingw-w64-winpthreads: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53929
mingw-w64-gcc: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53926

Yes, it's a bitch to build, but it should work in this order. The headers-nowinpthreads package is necessary because winpthreads overwrites two (per arch) dummy headers, which cause build failures if missing (#include <dummy.h> only works when dummy.h exists ).
