Thats the 64bit compiler. The "w64" means 64bit target. i686-mingw means it runs natively on 32bit windows. See link for basic outline of the file name structure: <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/download%20filename%20structure> For MSYS to work, you want the i686-mingw version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
