Some build notes
Some preparations may be required to build ‘connector’ from sources.
Common
Copy set_vars_user.sample.cmd to set_vars_user.cmd and edit new file
to define your own paths to used toolchains (cygwin, msys) and utilities.
MinGW / MSys 1.0
- Run
bin\mingw-get.exe. - Select ‘MSYS System Builder / msys-gcc’ to install and ‘Apply changes’ from menu.
Cygwin 32/64 bit
I used to install 32bit and 64bit cygwin toolchains into separate folders to avoid path problems.
- In cygwin setup utility
setup-x86.exe (32-bit)
or
setup-x86_64.exe (64-bit)
type ‘g++’ in the ‘search’ field. - Install ‘gcc-g++: GNU Compiler Collection (C++)’.
If you don't see it, choose ‘Full’ in the ‘View’ drop-down listbox.
Don't install toolchains which package name are started with ‘mingw’ or ‘cygwin’. - Complete cygwin installation or update.
MSYS2 32/64 bit
- Install MSYS2 using
msys2-i686-latest.exe (32-bit)
or
msys2-x86_64-latest.exe (64-bit). - Open msys shell
- Run
pacman -Syuuto install updates and close msys shell window. Repeat until there are updates. - Run
pacman -S --needed msys2-develto install required packages.
