Build Instructions

Dependencies

Required:

MinGW toolchain
- win32 threads (as opposed to posix threads) is recommended to avoid dependency on libwinpthread-1.dll
CMake

Recommended:

Debugging Tools for Windows for the latest version of dbghelp.dll, dbgcore.dll, and symsrv.dll DLLs.
Python 3.x for running some of the tests.

It is also possible to build with a native MinGW toolchain, by doing:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ci\build.ps1

Note that building with MSYS or Cygwin is not necessary nor supported.

I always build DrMinGW from Linux with MinGW cross-compilation toolchain, by doing:

ci/build.sh
