I've been working on a similar problem and have finally gotten it to work. Here is how I put it together:

#!/bin/sh
make distclean
CC=/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-gcc
CXX=/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-g++
MINGWFLAGS="-mwin32 -mconsole -march=pentium4 "
CFLAGS="$MINGWFLAGS"
CXXFLAGS="$MINGWFLAGS"
./configure CC=$CC CXX=$CXX --target=i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586
echo make CC=$CC CXX=/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-g++ CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"
make CC=$CC CXX=/opt/local/bin/i386-mingw32-g++ CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"

This is using the version of mingw that is installed using the MacPorts command:

sudo port install i386-mingw32-binutils i386-mingw32-gcc i386-mingw32-libunicows i386-mingw32-runtime i386-mingw32-w32api

Good luck!

On Ubuntu, you can get going in many cases with "apt-get install gcc-mingw32"

If you need to install both the 64-bit and 32-bit mingw compilers, try this:

• from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3258887&group_id=67079&atid=516781

For 64-bit build systems:

apt-get install libmpfr1ldbl
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/mingw-packages/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/w64-toolchain/x86-64-w64-mingw32-toolchain_1.0b+201011211643-0w2273g93970b22426p16~karmic1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i x86-64-w64-mingw32-toolchain_1.0b+201011211643-0w2273g93970b22426p16~karmic1_amd64.deb

For 32-bit build systems:

wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/mingw-packages/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/w64-toolchain/i686-w64-mingw32-toolchain_1.0b+201011211643-0w2273g93970b22426p16~karmic1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i i686-w64-mingw32-toolchain_1.0b+201011211643-0w2273g93970b22426p16~karmic1_amd64.deb

On Fedora, you can install mingw32 using standard yum. To install mingw64, follow the instructions at:

• http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/CrossCompilerFramework
• http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Mingw-w64_cross_compiler

• http://www.advancedhpc.com/tower_servers/tower_server_products.html

  $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d $ sudo wget http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/CrossCompilerFramework#Development_and_testing_repository $ yum update $ yum install mingw64-gcc mingw64-g++ mingw64-zlib

Best bet for cross-compiling seems to be Fedora, which gives you both mingw32 and mingw64:

• http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/CrossCompilerFramework

  sudo yum install mingw32-gcc-c++

I haven't been able to find a 64-bit cross-compiler for Mac.

Hi @Linggo,

MinGW is a Windows compiler. Do you want to cross compile Windows apps on your Mac?
