I have just updated the mingw-w64 cross compilers Cygwin 32bit and 64bit to mingw64-*-gcc-4.9.2-2. This version corrects the typo in the configure like for "--enable-fully-dynamic-string", mistakenly entered as "--enable-fully-dynamic-strings" in previous versions. This means an ABI break: ==== PLEASE RECOMPILE ALL YOUR C++ CODE FOR ABI COMPATIBILITY ==== The cross compiler can produce Win32 and Win64 native binaries. As a cross compiler, you may use --host=i686-w64-mingw32 or --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 for autotools based source packages to build for Windows. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
