%general-entities; ]> mingw-w64-binutils MinGW-w64-binutils is a collection of software that can change the state of Windows binaries or make them executable. These binutils are specific to MinGW-w64, and using regular binutils will not work for the proceeding packages. &lfs121_checked; Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): MinGW-w64-binutils Dependencies Optional First make sure libiberty does not get installed: sed -i 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in Now you may proceed. Install x86_64 MinGW-w64-binutils by running the following commands: mkdir build-x86_64 && cd build-x86_64 ../configure --prefix=/usr \ --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \ --infodir=/usr/share/info/x86_64-w64-mingw32 \ --enable-lto \ --enable-plugins \ --enable-deterministic-archives \ --disable-multilib \ --disable-nls \ --disable-werror make Now, as the root user: make install rm -v /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/libdep.so Install i686 MinGW-w64-binutils by running the following commands: mkdir build-i686 && cd build-i686 ../configure --prefix=/usr \ --target=i686-w64-mingw32 \ --infodir=/usr/share/info/i686-w64-mingw32 \ --enable-lto \ --enable-plugins \ --enable-deterministic-archives \ --disable-multilib \ --disable-nls \ --disable-werror make Now, as the root user: make install rm -v /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/libdep.so --enable-lto: This option builds lto support. --enable-plugins: This option enables plugin support for the linker. --enable-deterministic-archives: This option enables building determinable archives by hardcoding filemodes, timestamps, and file owners into the archive. --disable-multilib: This option disables multilib support in each architecture. It is not needed and doing a Wine WoW64 build just uses the binaries from each architecture. Do not set --enable-multilib for any MinGW-w64 package or else problems will occur. --disable-nls: This option disables nls support, disabling output diagnostics in languages other than American English. Omit --disable-nls and invoke --enable-nls to enable nls support. --disable-werror: This option makes it so warnings won't be considered errors. --target=*: This option builds files for the architecture passed to it. rm -v /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/libdep.so: This command removes an unnecessary library.
