README file for configuring Code::Blocks to use the 64-bit MinGW toolchain Copyright (c) 2009 ARM Research Laboratories This is the README file for the configuring Code::Blocks to use the 64-bit MinGW toolchain. To configure Code::Blocks: 1) Unpack the 64-bit toolchain archive (e.g. mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20090220.zip) into c:\MinGW-64. If done correctly, c:\MinGW-64 should have the directories bin, include, x86_64-pc-mingw32, and other directories. 2) Start CodeBlocks. 3) Open the Global compiler settings (Settings->Compiler and debugger). 4) Click on "Copy", and enter MinGW-64 as the new compiler's name. 5) If desired, click "Set as default". 6) Click on the "Toolchain executables" tab. 7) For the compiler's installation directory, enter "c:\MinGW-64". 8) Click on the "Program Files" tab, and enter the names for the MinGW-64 tools: i) C compiler: "x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc.exe". ii) C++ compiler: "x86_64-pc-mingw32-g++.exe". iii) Linker for dynamic libs: "x86_64-pc-mingw32-g++.exe". iv) Linker for static libs: "x86_64-pc-mingw32-ar.exe". v) Debugger: Leave this blank; there is no 64-bit debugger available yet. vi) Resource ompiler: "x86_64-pc-mingw32-windres.exe". v) Make program: "". Leave blank. The 64-bit toolchain doesn't include a make program.
