Hi, I posted messages earlier about the problem I had with a binary MinGW-w64 (for cross-compiling to Win64 on Linux), I assume this binary is built from the trunk branch of MinGW, and Kai Tietz suggested that one way round this is to fallback to 1.0 branch-math.
As I wasn't able to work round the problem with the binary I had, I decided to try the branch 1.0 approach. Am I correct in assuming this means release 1.0 of MinGW-w64? Firstly, is this correct -- release 1.0 will have the older math routines? I downloaded a binary for (32 bit) Linux of the release 1.0 MinGW-w64 from your ftp site, but was unable to run the gcc cross-compiler, because it needs a newer glibc than what is on my Linux system.[My previous binary was downloaded from http://www.drangon.org/mingw, and I guess they linked against an older version of glibc that works on my Linux) So it seems I need to compile MinGW-w64 myself. I downloaded: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchain%20sources/Automated%20Builds/mingw-w64-1.0-src-_20110307.tar.bz2 but I cannot figure out how to build this. There appears to be both gcc and binutil sources in this package, as well as the release branch of mingw, but there is no configure file in the mingw directory, nor a top-level configure at the toplevel directory. I looked at the instructions in the FAQ (How do I compile multilib toolchain), but I am not sure which configure file it is referring to in the various steps, I assume it is the configure in the component I am building, e.g. binutil's for binutil, but there is no configure in the mingw directory, which I assume is the 'runtime' component? In http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler it mentions CRT as runtime -- does this mean I need to run the configure in mingw/mingw-crt? Another question: I assume sysroot is the path I want to install the toolchain to? Any help or information on how I can build/compile will be very welcome (or pointers to documents with the information I need) Thanks in advance!
