Hi all,
Having used mingw for years as a linux-i686 hosted cross compiler
targeting mingw32, I've recently installed an automated build[*] of a
cross-toolchain to generate 64bit binaries (hosted on the same platform
linux-i686).
[*] downloaded from the MinGW-w64 project site at sourceforge.net
While the toolchain works great (thanks a lot!), a few related questions
have arisen regarding the prefixes used for the file names of
executables in /bin.
In case of my 32bit toolchain, I'm seeing "i386-mingw32" as a prefix.
(And to indicate the target platform in my build configuration, I've
been using "mingw32" all along.)
In the case of the 64bit toolchain I'm seeing "x86_64-w64-mingw32" as a
prefix, where I expect something like "x86_64-mingw64". Especially the
combination of w64 and mingw32 is surprising to me. (And I've been
expecting to be able to use "mingw64" as a name for target platform.)
It appears that I'm needing some education about the current naming
logic, and I'd be very happy to receive that.
Am I wrong in indicating the target platform for 64bit windows binaries
as "mingw64"?
Thanks in advance for any insight,
Erik Leunissen.
