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!

Kish
