http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ This is a different project then mingw, although they both sound the same and as far as I understand it, run by different team. Mingw-w64 does both 32-bit and 64-bit, while mingw from http://mingw.org only does 32-bit, at this time. There were no changes to my build environment to go from mingw to mingw-w64, except for changing the windows "path" from c:\mingw to c:\mingw64 when executing my build script. > > Also, is mingw-w64 a cross-compiler or just the 64bit version > of the toolchain? > > I'm used to the MS compilers that are 32bit and cross-compile > (I used to compile all the 64bit WinPcap components on an XP > 32bit VM). The GCC and 'binutils' is what allows cross-compiling. So as long as the toolchain provides the 32-bit and 64-bit version of 'binutils', you can cross-compile it. Mingw only provide 32-bit for now, that is why I had to switch to mingw-w64 to compile my code.
