MinGW also supports cross compilation, for example allowing you to build Windows applications using a Linux based system. By default, the 'specs' file exists only in GCCs imagination. MinGW provides a compiler/linker toolchain while MSYS is required to actually run the PortAudio configure script. MinGW is a native Win32 port of the open source GNU Compiler Collection, and can be used to write applications targeting Windows in languages such a C and C++ (see the MinGW web site for further details of the supported programming languages). The MinGW specs file allows you to combine the best of both worlds: keep your stuff wherever you want, but have it in the compilers search path without having to fiddle with command-line flags.
#Mingw command line how to#
Primarily developed as a means to execute the configure scripts and Makefiles used to build Open Source software, but also useful as a general purpose command line interface to replace Windows cmd.exe. In the terminal we will check the version of MinGW with the following command: g++ -version Finally, we have seen how to fully install MinGW on Windows 10 to manage native Windows 10 applications. MSYS: A Minimal SYStem providing a POSIX compatible Bourne shell environment, with a small collection of UNIX command line tools. MinGW provides a complete Open Source programming tool set which is suitable for the development of native Windows programs that do not depend on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs. MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries, augmenting the GNU Compiler Collection, (GCC), and its associated tools, (GNU binutils).
