i686-XXX-mingw32 compilers and __MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION macro: 3.18 or 3.11?

i686-XXX-mingw32 compilers and __MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION macro: 3.18 or 3.11?

[Frédéric Bron]

Using cygwin 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10.

The following program:

#include <iostream>
int main() {
        std::cout<<__MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION<<'.'<<__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION<<'\n';
        return 0;
}

outputs:
- 3.18 when built with i686-pc-mingw32-g++
- 3.11 when built with i686-w64-mingw32-g++
why?
I have mingw-runtime version 3.18 installed. Is it used only by i686-pc-mingw32?

I found that:
$ grep -r "#define *__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION" /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/_mingw.h:#define
__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION     18
and
$ grep -r "#define *__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION" /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/_mingw_mac.h:#define
__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION 11

This seems to be one of the reasons that prevents me to use boost on cygwin 1.7.

Regards,

Frédéric

Just bump it up and see if there are any issues, the mingw-w64 toolchain
uses its own header set and the numbers don't always reflect mingw.org
releases, since the macros in there are mainly for compatibility.

You want to check instead for __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR on mingw-w64.

neither __MINGW64__, nor __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR are  defined because
I am targetting win32, not win64, even if I use w64 compiler.
So this does not help.
Any other clue?

Its there when you include files like stdio.h, which eventually will
include _mingw_mac.h. Please do not the header directly if you value
platform portability.

If you are using a mingw* compiler, then you're not "using" Boost on
Cygwin.  If you really want to build with Boost on Cygwin, install
libboost-devel and its dependencies.

I am. Up to now, I have a dual cygwin installation 1.5/1.7 because I
was unable to use boost nor wxwidgets with 1.7.
I recently decided to make another effort to build boost with 1.7
because I feel that it will be difficult to maintain my build chain
based on cygwin 1.5.

I realized that there are 2 mingw32 compilers coming with cygwin 1.7:
i686-w64-mingw32 and i686-pc-mingw32.
I imagine that they correspond to:
- w64 ->http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
- pc -> http://mingw.org/

I first tried to use the -w64- version with which I have troubles
building boost.
However, good news: I just finished building boost with the -pc-
version! I still have to build wxwidgets (currently running).

It would be nice to understand why the -w64- version does not work but
it seems to be beyond my competencies.

This is an old version (1.43). I want to use the latest one (1.47)

Adding mingw-w64-public list.

Care to share what went wrong?
