Context - I posted previously about compiling (or cross-compiling) a C curses program.
I'm confused by the mingw-w64 directory structure and names. It seems well thought and organized, probably self-obvious to the developers. But I don't "get it" as a user. *********** On windows xp computer: C:\sw\mingw-builds>\sw\unx-util\bin\find -name include -print .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\include .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\lib\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.8.1\include .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\lib\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.8.1\install-tools\include .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\opt\include C:\sw\mingw-builds>\sw\unx-util\bin\find -name lib -print .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\lib .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\lib\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\lib .\x32-4.8.1-posix-dwarf-rev5\mingw32\opt\lib I'm confused by the many include and lib directories. As an end user of gcc, which directory would be the locations for adding curses header and library files? I guess I could add to all the directories, but I would rather understand the differences. ******* On linux computer: $ uname -a Linux lark 2.6.32-21-generic-pae #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:39:35 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux $ ls /usr amd64-mingw32msvc i586-mingw32msvc lib share bin i686-w64-mingw32 local src games include sbin x86_64-w64-mingw32 http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/FAQ explains about naming, it's only somewhat helpful. Could someone explain the difference between 586-mingw32msvc and i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32? Maybe this example might be added to the FAQ.
