| 3 | 4 | Hamish | I am using the MinGW compiler to build this project under windows. I was not able to find a MinGW quick-start guide on their web site and their download page appears instead to provide a lesson in history. Therefore, I have written up the exact steps that I used to get a working build environment here: |
| 4 | 2 | Hamish | |
| 5 | # Install MinGW (Use the Automated MinGW installer from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435) |
||
| 6 | ## Add _mingw make_ to the list of components to install |
||
| 7 | # Add _C:\MinGW\bin_ to the system PATH |
||
| 8 | # copy _C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe_ to _C:\MinGW\bin\make.exe_ |
||
| 9 | 3 | Hamish | # Install putty |
| 10 | 1 | Hamish | ## Add putty to the system PATH |
| 11 | 4 | Hamish | |
| 12 | I also use the Wine environment under linux to perform build tests - these binaries can behave significantly differently to a pure windows binary, so I need to do final builds on a Windows system. I have also been meaning to install MinGW on linux and start building like that, but since I need a real windows system to test the serial port access routines, I will probably continue building on the windows system for some time. |
