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.
