I'm a C++ programmer and have experience with GCC on Linux. I want to develop an application in Windows , so i need a full guide to mingw make files, variables and mingw32-make. Is there anybody who can introduce a resource for this?
MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows"), formerly mingw32, is a free and open source software development environment to create Microsoft Windows applications.
The makefile is a text file that contains the recipe for building your program. It usually resides in the same directory as the sources, and it is usually called Makefile . Each one of these commands should be a separate rule in a makefile.
MinGW-w64 is a improved version which supports both 32bit and 64bit, and some more of the WinAPI (still not all, because thats much work, but more than MinGW). MinGW-w64 only provides their source code, but no binaries to "just use" the compiler.
mingw32-make
is just a pre-built version of GNU make, so
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/ should have all of the
information you need.
