Based on the output of the identify-compilers.sh script below, it appears that the following C compilers are available on Cygwin. Those labeled "Cygwin" require the cygwin1.dll file to be available.
What is the difference between the "pc" and "w64" compilers? Why is there no x86_64-pc-mingw-gcc.exe executabe? Are there any other C compilers available? /usr/bin/gcc.exe 64-bit Cygwin /usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe 32-bit Cygwin /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc.exe 32-bit /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe 32-bit /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe 64-bit Cygwin /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe 64-bit $ cat identify-compilers.sh #!/bin/bash for c in $(ls -1 /usr/bin/*gcc.exe); do echo === compiler: $c $c -o hello.exe hello.c objdump -p hello.exe | grep -i "cygwin" objdump -p hello.exe | grep -i "64$" rm hello.exe done On Sun, Dec 7, 2014 at 4:30 PM, <paul.hermeneu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Based on the output of the identify-compilers.sh script below, it appears > that the following C compilers are available on Cygwin.
