This is completely supported by the build system. To extend the example, we must tell `configure.py` to use the MinGW tools:: - $ ./configure.py --os=mingw --cpu=x86_32 --cc-bin=i686-w64-mingw32-g++ --ar=i686-w64-mingw32-ar + $ ./configure.py --os=mingw --cpu=x86_32 --cc-bin=i686-w64-mingw32-g++ --ar-command=i686-w64-mingw32-ar ... $ make ... $ file botan.exe botan.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows +.. note:: + For whatever reason, some distributions of MinGW lack support for + threading or mutexes in the C++ standard library. You can work around + this by disabling thread support using ``--without-os-feature=threads`` + You can also specify the alternate tools by setting the `CXX` and `AR` environment variables (instead of the `--cc-bin` and `--ar-command` options), as is commonly done with autoconf builds. |
