Greetings, David, thank you so much for your answer (see below).

This is the pattern I typically use for building a MinGW program with CMake and installing it in the correct directory: mkdir build cd build MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL=- cmake .. -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$MINGW_PREFIX make install DESTDIR=/
I use -G "Unix Makefiles". Would that change something to your logic ? What is the benefit of using -G"MSYS Makefiles" ? It's interesting. My programs make heavy use of Qt5. Would the binaries created using -G"MSYS Makefiles" be compatible with the Qt dll files in /mingw64/bin ? This is something I really would like to understand: what is the difference between using the development environment in Msys2 and the development environment in MinGW64. I have read tons of documents that used to say "be careful to have this or that path in your env PATH variable otherwise you'd use this or that compiler and the images generated would be incompatible". I never really took the time to experiment... Does that kind of writing still apply today ? Again, thank you for your message, Sincerely, Filippo Rusconi -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Filippo Rusconi, PhD ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Research scientist at CNRS ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Debian Developer ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://msxpertsuite.org http://www.debian.org _______________________________________________ Msys2-users mailing list Msys2-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/msys2-users
